1. Out of the Box
1.1 Get to Know the FRDM-A-S32K344 Development Board
2. Get Software
Sign in at NXP with your credentials.
2.1 Install Software
- Go to the software bundle using the following link S32K3 FRDM Automation Bundle
- Click Generate to download
- Run the NXP Multi Installer
- Launch S32 Design Studio for S32 Platform 3.6.5 from the shortcut that has been created on your desktop
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.
3. Plug It In
3.1 Plug in the Power Supply
The FRDM-A-S32K344 is a rapid prototyping board based on the S32K344EVB-Q172. As it is not intended for final production use, the board includes a primary power supply option via USB Power Delivery, connected to the FS26 SBC.
By default, the FRDM-A-S32K344 is powered via the J11 USB-C connector. It is recommended to use the USB-C cable included in the box, or any cable that supports USB Power Delivery (PD), to ensure full functionality of the board. Using a non-compliant cable may result in limited current supply and reduced performance.
To power the board properly, a USB-C PD compatible power source is required, such as a USB-C PD charger or a laptop with PD support. While most modern laptops support USB PD, please verify your device’s capabilities before use.
The FRDM-A-S32K344 supports input voltages up to 20 V. However, based on FS26 SBC recommendations, it is ideal to operate within 9 V, 12 V or 15 V ranges with at least 1 A. Achieving these voltages and current requires proper negotiation between the USB PD source and the PD PHY (PTN5110). For guidance on implementing this negotiation with the S32K344, consult your local NXP FAE or the code available in the NXP Application Code Hub web site.
3.2 Start-up Sequence
- Connect the USB-C cable to the
J11connector to power the board - To power-on the board, change the default position of switch SW5 to the 2-3 setting
- Verify that all power LEDs indicators on the board are illuminated
3.3 Connect the Debugger Cable
The board features an integrated On-Board Debugger along with standard JTAG connectors. This setup enables seamless serial and debug communication between a USB host and the target embedded processor, in this case, the K26 microcontroller.
Connect the USB-C cable included in the box to the connector or any USB-C data cable.
