Hi Robin,
Thanks for the reply. I was not aware of those HTML pages buried in the installation. That is very helpful. Unfortunately, I'm not sure it entirely answers my question/issue.
As a consequence, loading the program to flash memory may fail on some debuggers.
I am not trying to load my program to flash. I am running the Debug_RAM. So I should be running the program directly out of RAM. With that said, could you point me to instructions for performing the mass erase operation? I don't see it in the instructions anywhere and can't immediately find it in S32DS menus.
Regarding the versions of S32DS, RTM, and RTD... I'm actually fairly confused now. I understand your bullet points of what is supported where, but when I launched S32DS 3.5, the RTD 2.0.x is not listed as an installable extension, but the RTM 4.0.x is.

So, I have a few follow-up questions:
1. What is the difference between S32DS 3.4 and 3.5
2. Why is the RTM 4.0.x not supported in 3.5? Is the RTM itself being deprecated?
3. How do I properly install the RTD 2.0.x since it is not listed in the Extensions and Updates in my S32DS 3.5?
Thanks
EDIT:
I found these instructions for installation of the RTD: https://community.nxp.com/t5/S32K/How-do-i-add-S32k1-RTD-to-S32DS-3-5/td-p/1687471
But after installing that. I am unsure of what the equivalent RTD example is for the RTM Flash Partition example. Can you point me to the correct RTD example?
