      2. Get Software

      2.1 Get the Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

      S32K14WEVB-Q064 performs better when using S32 Design Studio for the S32 Platform.

      DOWNLOAD S32 DESIGN STUDIO IDE

      2.2 Install S32K1 Drivers

      Run the S32 Design Studio, Go to menu → Help → S32DS Extension and Updates.

      Install S32K1xx development package and continue in installation either with SDK or with RTD drivers.

      2.3 Get the Run-Time Debugging Tool

      S32K14EVB-Q064 evaluation board performs better when using the FreeMASTER tool for run-time debugging.

      You can also download and install the FreeMASTER Communication Driver (source code already included in the example project).

      DOWNLOAD FREEMASTER TOOL - Link

      3. Plug It In

      3.1 Set Up Jumpers in the S32K14WEVB-Q064 Evaluation Board

          4. Build, Run

          4.1 Create an S32DS Project from Example

          Open S32DS and from the menu, go to File → New → S32DS Project from Example

          Select for example ADC project either from SDK or from RTD

          4.2 Configure and Build Project

          The SDK project might be built directly via “Build button”

          While RTD project needs to generate the configuration. Double-click on mex file to open Configuration Tool and click on the Update Code button for configuration files generation.

          Once you finish your code/configuration modification, click on built button.

          4.3 Load Code into MCU

          In the S32 Design Studio menu click Run → Debug Configuration and select the appropriate predefined debug configuration and click on Debug to start loading built code into MCU.

          4.4 Debug the Code

          The S32DS will switch into debug perspective and you may use the debug buttons/keys to walk through the example code.
