NXP S32K Cortex-M4 Tutorial for the S32K144EVB Board

This hands-on lab demonstrates the NXP Cortex-M4 processor and Keil µVision. The Keil Blinky example which uses the on-board potentiometer to control the tri-color LED via the Keil RTX5 RTOS is included with your MDK-ARM installation. The DSP Sine example (APNT_299_DSP.ZIP below) demonstrates waveform analysis using the Logic Analyzer. The examples are compliant to Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard (CMSIS V5). Serial Wire Viewer Data Trace, memory reads and writes, the RTX Kernel Awareness Viewer and Event Recorder are shown.

NOTE: For information about using the NXP Cookbook examples with MDK, see APNT_304.

An NXP S32K144EVB board and a USB A to microB cable are needed. The CMSIS-DAP.ZIP file (below) contains a CMSIS-DAP.S19 firmware file that can be downloaded to your board for OpenSDA debugging. OpenSDA P&E or CMSIS-DAP may be used for the basic debugging exercises, but a ULINKplus, ULINK2, ULINK-ME, ULINKpro or J-Link debug adapter is required for Serial Wire Viewer.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You must install MDK-ARM V5.24 or later before you can use this lab.

For more information regarding these files, see APNT_299_V1.2.PDF.
