2. Get Software

Sign in at NXP with your credentials.

2.1 Install Software

  1. Go to the software bundle using the following link S32K3 FRDM Automation Bundle
  2. Click Generate to download
  3. Run the NXP Multi Installer
  4. By selecting “Launch executable after download” and “Installation and configuration without any interaction” the FRDM Bundle will be installed alongside all its available components.

    All the Software and Tools are now installed and configured automatically.

  5. Launch S32 Design Studio for S32 Platform 3.6.5 from the shortcut that has been created on your desktop

3. Plug It In

3.1 Plug in the Power Supply

The first method to provide power is via J9 USB-C connector (this board does not include power delivery), but the current will be limited to 500 mA (this to enable for Desktops with USB-A or USB-C connector), so this supplying method is only recommended for low-demand current applications. Even in this supplying method Controller Area Network (CAN) or Local Interconnect Network Physical Layer (LIN PHY) (Is not recommended to use both PHYs at maximum current demand at the same time) can work because the FS26 enable a boost circuit to supply the +12.0 V voltage refences of the PHYs.

FRDM-A-S32K344 USB C Supply Connector GS-FRDM-A-S32K312-IMG2

The maximum current demand for +12.0 V in this supplying method is 170 mA due to the boost circuit consumption. To supply the board with the above descripted methodology, follow the steps descripted in the Table 5.

3.2 Start-up Sequence

Ensure that the jumpers J19 and J20 are placed in the position 1 - 2 in order to power supply via the USB-C connector (J9).
