1. Get Software

Let's take your MPC5775B/E-EVB highly-integrated low-cost development boards for Battery Management and Inverter applications for a test drive!

Check the AN12875: Getting started with the MPC5775B-EVB and MPC5775E-EVB

1.1 Get the OpenSDA Serial Driver

Install the OpenSDA serial driver if necessary, in order to make the COM port available as an OpenSDA port. It can be checked under "COM and LPT Ports" as "OpenSDA – CDC Serial Port" in the Device Manager.

Get the Open SDA serial driver

1.2 Get Your Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

MPC5775B/E-EVB performs better when using S32 Design Studio for Power Architecture® IDE

Download S32 Design Studio for Power Architecture

2. Plug It In

2.1 Plug the USB Serial Cable

Connect the micro USB cable to J116 micro USB port.

If the driver is available:
You will be able to see the OpenSDA – CDC Serial Port

If the driver is not available:
