2. Get Software

2.1 Get the Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

Download and install S32 Design Studio IDE for S32 Platform.

2.2 Install the S32K3xx Development Package and RTD

Go to Help → S32DS Extensions and Updates from the top menu to open the S32DS Extensions and Updates. Install S32K3xx Development Package.

Continue with the installation of Real Time Drivers for S32K3xx.

2.3 Download and Install Elektrobit tresos Studio and Real-Time Drivers (Only AUTOSAR Users)

Download and install Elektrobit Tresos Studio / AUTOSAR Configuration Tool from S32K3 Standard Software Package.

Download and install the .exe file of the S32K3 Real-Time Drivers for Cortex-M from the S32K3 Standard Software Package.

The installer will ask for the EB tresos installation directory on your disk, saving time in configuration.

2.4 Get the Run-Time Debugging Tool

S32K3X8EVB-Q289 performs better when using the FreeMASTER Run-Time Debugging Tool.

The FreeMASTER communication driver for S32K3 microcontrollers is also needed; The FreeMASTER communication driver for S32K3 microcontrollers is also needed; download it from the Automotive SW - S32K3 - S32 FreeMASTER link in the S32K3 Standard Software Package.

Open the S32DS Extensions and Updates dialog (menu → Help → S32DS Extensions and Updates), click pn Add Update Sites link and navigate to the FreeMASTER communication driver for S32K3 (zip file starting with "com.") on your disk.

Install FreeMASTER Communication driver for S32K3.

Aditional optional software may be downloaded from S32K3 Reference Software Package.

3.2 Plug In the Power Supply

Switch SW10 to the OFF position (fully to the right).

Connect the 12 V power supply adapter and switch SW10 to the ON position (fully to the left).

When power is applied to the EVB, four orange LED's adjacent to the voltage regulators show the presence of the supply voltages (12 V, 5 V and 3.3 V).

3.3 Debugger Connection

Connect a micro-USB cable to the J55 connector to debug via the on-board S32K3 debugger.

Or use one of available JTAG connectors for debug via external S32K3 debugger.
