S32K116

[zorz]

HI 

I am having an issue with the S32k116. The problem is the RESET signal because it is NOT stable it is having oscillation on the pin ( see the picture ). 

The design is pretty simple it is just a copy-paste from the EVAL board + additional IO and serial interfaces. On reset pin is just C and pull up. After applying the power I can see just this on the RESET pin. 

For debugging, I have S32DS and IAR-JLINK ( SEGGER ). I use SWD interface. When I connect RST signal from this debugging interface i have RED LED flashing on the debugger.

Does anyone have any idea what this means?  Any help is much appreciated.

HI 

Update .. maybe it helps someone 

1. reset signal is OK to be like that if the uC is "empty"

2. after the update of the j-link driver to the latest one, the debugger now can "partially" connect to the uC 

The current issue is

Is it possible that j-link V8.0 is NOT compatible with the S32K1xx ?

Hi zorz,

Yes. If there is no code programmed (a blank part), then the processor will periodically reset due to core lockups.(Excerpted from AN12130) After programmed, it will not reset anymore.

Latest J-Link Software may fix some bugs.

Please confirm:
All VDD pins are powered by 3.3V
All VSS pins are connected to Ground

Refer to 4.2 JTAG and TRACE interface of AN5426
TCLK/SWD_CLK       external Pull-Down 10k-47k
TDI                             external Pull-Up 10k-47k
TDO                           external Pull-Up 10k-47k
TMS/SWD_DIO         external Pull-Up 10k-47k
RESET                       external Pull-Up 10k-47k

I'm not sure the OEM IAR-JLINK (SEGGER) you mentioned is able to connect S32K1, have you tried updating its firmware?
If you have S32K116EVB on hand, please try to connect this OEM IAR-JLINK (SEGGER) to the SWD interface on S32K116EVB and have a test.(Is it possible to connect the S32K116 that is working normally on the S32K116EVB board?)

If not able to connect to the chip, please check the values of MDM-AP status and control registers by refer to: https://community.nxp.com/t5/S32K/Unbricking-S32K146/m-p/937227

Best Regards,
Robin

HI Robin 

I can confirm that the HW is the way you described. We are using 10k pull-ups. The VDD is 3.4V and VSS is to GND.

After the update of the JLINK and using J-link commander I am able to go this far:

Do you have any idea what is causing

HI 

From all of the reading done .. I believe the problem is that the FLASH is empty and this is ok how the uC behaves. 

The issue now I have that I can not connect to the uC with S32DS and J-LINK to program something into it. 

This is what I have when I try to connect.

Hi 

The answer to the last problem was an OLD j-link version. 

With J-link version 12 all is ok now
