    2.1 Get the Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

    Download and install S32 Design Studio IDE for S32 Platform version 3.4.

    Note: Version 3.4 is located under “Previous” tab

    Note: You will receive activation code through email.

    DOWNLOAD S32 DESIGN STUDIO IDE

    2.2 Install the S32K3xx Development Package

    Note: The software contains rich example set for both High Level Driver (HLD) and Low Level Drivers (LLD). The HLD example set is based on S32K3 RTD version 1.0.0, while LLD example set is based on S32K3 RTD version 2.0.0. The next instructions are for LLD example set. For more details about downloading and installing the HLD software please read the chapter 2 in the S32K344 Whiteboard SW(HLD) UserGuide

    • Go to Help
    • S32DS Extensions and Updates from the top menu to open the S32DS Extensions and Updates
    • Navigate to the S32K3xx development package and install it

    Note: In case of installation issues, please ensure that the latest version of S32 Design Studio Platform package and S32 Design Studio Platform Tools package is installed.

    Continue with the installation of the S32K3 Real-Time Drivers:

    Note: Make sure the jumper J5 is closed and J87 is open. These jumper settings make sure the FS26 starts in debug mode which disables the watchdog.

    Note: For details about default jumper settings please read the chapter 7 in the S32K344 White Board HW User Manual.

    3.2 Connect Power Supply

    Ensure that SW10 is in OFF position, connect the 12 V power supply adaptor and then switch SW10 to the ON position. If you see the reset LED(D15) blinking, it's possible that the FS26 is in normal mode and FS26 triggered the reset due to no watchdog feeding from the MCU. In such a case, switch SW10 OFF and ON again.

    The successful power-on is signalized by several power-domain LEDs. For more details and LED positions please read the chapter 5 in the S32K344 White Board HW User Manual.
