    1. Out of the Box

    Let's take your S12ZVM-EFP reference design board engineered for automotive 3-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM)/brushless DC (BLDC) motor control system for a test drive!

    1.1 Download the Quick Start Package for the S12ZVM-EFP reference design board

    The Quick Start Package includes

    Download S12ZVM-EFP QSP

    1.2 Get your Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

    S12ZVM-EFP performs better when using CodeWarrior® for MCUs (Eclipse IDE)

    NOTE: Check the CodeWarrior page for the latest version.

    Download CodeWarrior for MCUs

    1.3 Get the Run-time Debugging Tool

    S12ZVM-EFP performs better when using the 'FreeMASTER tool' for run-time debugging.

    NOTE: Check the FreeMASTER page for the latest version.

    2. Plug it In

    2.1 Connect the S12ZVM-EFP Reference Design Board

    Connect power supply cables and fuel pump or other 3 phase PMSM cables to the board.

    2.2 Plug the PE Multilink Debugger

    Attach the PE Multilink debugger cable to BDM port (J1) onboard and another end to PC.

    2.3 Plug the SCI to USB Wire

    Attach the SCI to USB wire (FreeMASTER) to UART port (J4) PIN2, PIN3 and PIN4, another end to the PC USB port.

    2.4 Plug the DC Power Supply

    Connect power supply wires to the DC power supply: set the voltage at 12 V, current limit to 20 A.

    Check and make sure all connections are correct:

    3. Build, Run

    3.1 Load Example Project Using your IDE

    Open CodeWarrior and load example projects.

    3.2 Configure Motor Parameters in the Debug Tool

    Open FreeMASTER run-time debug and visualization tool. Use the .exe within the S12ZVM-EFP reference design – Quick Start Package to configure the connected motor parameters and other parameters in MCAT for generating the PMSM_appconfig.h file.

    3.3 Compile and Program the Project

    Then connect the FreeMASTER with the S12ZVM-EFP reference design board. After that, you can run the motor by using FreeMASTER.
