S32K36x Bootloader Implementation

[SewerynP]

Dear NXP Support Team,

I am currently in the process of evaluating your microcontrollers for an application. I would specifically like to use the S32K364 microcontroller model. However, I am uncertain about how to implement a bootloader function for it.

Are we supposed to simply adapt the existing "unified bootloader demo" from four years ago made for the original S32K31x/K32x/K34x MCUs if we want to flash our MCU using CAN-FD or is there a more official bootloader example project written specifically for the S32K36x series we could use directly? 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @SewerynP 

Please see my summary of the available S32K3 bootloader examples here:

https://community.nxp.com/t5/S32K/S32K385-Bootloader/m-p/2367874/highlight/true#M58710

NXP does not provide production-ready bootloader code specifically for every S32K3 derivative. The available bootloader demos are reference software intended as a starting point for developing your own solution and can be adapted to S32K364. For a production-ready solution, you can consider third-party products such as Vector Flash Bootloader.

Regards,

Lukas
