dear Peter

I have a PEmicro so I will try with this.

Can I modify the source and compile and download the Pre-downloaded FW for S32K358 BMS EVK ?

Could you shared the documents for this ?

Thanks,
Bryan

Hello,

Can I modify the source and compile and download the Pre-downloaded FW for S32K358 BMS EVK ?

Yes

Could you shared the documents for this ?

Yes. Simply follow the start up guide.

Here is the SW installation guide:

https://community.nxp.com/pwmxy87654/attachments/pwmxy87654/S32K/31702/1/BMS_SWInstalationGuide_Appl...

Also for loading SW into the device you can follow HOW-TOs for S32DS:

https://community.nxp.com/t5/S32-Design-Studio-Knowledge-Base/S32DS-list-of-HOWTOs/ta-p/1113475

Not sure if you are asking for loading code into the device flash or guidance for SW modification. (but SW services are separate and can be requested via NXP web site / support)

Best regards,

Peter
