DIAGRAM
To achieve the maximum flexibility to be
T-BOX/GP-ECU Ref-Design/S32K148 EVB:
 BLE, GPS and 3G/4G select
independent Module and connect with
S32K148 via UART
 Add QSPI Nor-Flash, standalone
RTC and 3-aix Accelerator for T-Box
functions
 Extend a 100M-base TX1 automotive
ethernet via TJA1101 for both T-Box
connection and AVB evaluation (plus a
I2S audio Codec )
 SBC provides 5/3.3V power supply for
S32K148 and other onboard modules
and also expends 1 CAN and 2 LIN bus
 Select TJA1044 with SO-8 and TJA1043
with HVSON14 package to compatible
with Stinger
 Use a 23-pin ECU connector to route
all CAN/LIN/ENET bus and extend 2x
HS output, 2x PWM input capture and
2x Analog Input, enable it to work as a
GP-ECU

USING ETHERNET AND QSPI
IMPORTANT OBSERVATION
The S32K148 is the only member of the
family able to use ethernet and QuadSPI.
However, these interfaces are mutually
exclusive so only one of them can be
used at a time. In order to use either
Ethernet or QuadSPI, user must follow
an specific resistor configuration. The
default configuration of the board is to
be used for ethernet communication.
CHANGE 0Ω CONFIGURATION
RESISTORS TO REUSE BETWEEN
ENET AND QUADSPI
 For S32K148 T-BOX RDB, some ENET
and QuadSPI data lines are shared
from the MCU, each interface is
separated by two 0 Ω resistors
 By default the ENET data lines are
enabled
 User can change the 0Ω configuration
resistors to enable and use QuadSPI:
S32K148 shared PIN Configuration resistor Description
PTD7 R161 (Default) ENET: MII_RMII_TXD1
R162 QuadSPI: QSPI_A_IO1
PTC2 R177(Default) ENET: MII_RMII_TXD0
R178 QuadSPI: QSPI_A_IO3
PTC3 R196 (Default) ENET: MII_TX_ER
R203 QuadSPI: QSPI_A_CS
PTD10 R178 (Default) ENET: MII_RX_CLK
R179 QuadSPI: QSPI_A_SCK
PTD11 R194 (Default) ENET: MII_RMII_TX_CLK
R195 QuadSPI: QSPI_A_IO0
PTD12 R190 (Default) ENET: MII_RMII_TX_EN
R192 QuadSPI: QSPI_A_IO2

S32K148-T-BOX RDB
Out-of-the-Box Setup
POWER UP THE BOARD AND
DEBUGGER CONNECTION
 The S32K148 T-BOX RDB powers from
external +12V power supply via the
23-pin ECU connector with the wiring
harness. If no 23-pin ECU connector
wiring harness available, the board be
powered by J31-8 (GND) and J31-1
(+12V)
Note: There is no embedded debugger
(e.g. OpenSDA) on the RDB, so debug
is done using PEMicro U-Multilink/FX
through J12 with a mini-20 pin cable on
debugger’s port F
 After power on, the D10, D11 and D12
on the left up corner of the board will
light on
 With Connecting the U-Multilink
debugger to PC, its USB and TGTPWR
LED will be lighted on

Use the BSP test project
STEP 1: DOWNLOAD & INSTALL S32DS FOR ARM V2018.R1 AND S32K SDK RTM 2.0.0
 Download S32DS for ARM v2018.R1 from the following link:
http://www.nxp.com/S32DS
– The download will require a NXP account login, user can register the account with any e-mail, and after download, you can
install S32DS IDE with a 32-bit active code received by the e-mail when download
 Download and install the S32K SDK RTM 2.0.0
– S32 Design Studio for Arm®2018.R1 Update 6 SDK S32K14x RTM v.2.0.0(REV UP6)
Any questions, please refer to the following NXP technical community for help:
https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-335302
STEP 2: IMPORT AND COMPILE THE BSP TEST PROJECT (1)
 Open S32DS for ARM v2018.R1 IDE select File > Import.  Select General > Existing Projects into Workspace > Next

12
STEP 2: IMPORT AND COMPILE THE BSP TEST PROJECT (2)
 Select archive file > Browse, browse and choose S32K148_Based_T_BOX_BSP_TestPrj_SDK_RTM2_0.zip, select the project >
Finish:
 After importing the project, clean it at first: select the project in Project Explorer, then right-click, choose Clean Project:

13
STEP 2: IMPORT AND COMPILE THE BSP TEST PROJECT (3)
 Select the project in Project Explorer, then right-click, choose Build Project:
 The compile result is as below if no errors are found:

14
STEP 3: DOWNLOAD AND DEBUG THE BSP TEST PROJECT
 Select the project in Project Explorer, then right-click, choose Debug As > Debug Configuration:
 In the Debug Configuration window, select the GDB PEMicro Interface Debugging > S32K148_Based_T_BOX_BSP_TestPrj_
SDK_RTM2_0_Debug>Debugger>under Interface select right debugger, and ensure Port has the right part number, then in
Additional Options, check Emergency Kinetis Device Recovery by Full Chip Erase and Use SWD protocol (if not check this
option, it will use JTAG debug protocol), at last, click Debug to launch the debug(it will download the compile result—elf file in
to the target MCU at first):

15
STEP 4: CONNECT THE UART CONSOLE FOR TEST RESULT OUTPUT DISPLAY
 The BSP test project use S32K148 LPUART2 to output the test result;
 Use a USB-to-UART adapter to connect the board with PC via J25-6(TXD), J25-7(RXD) and J25-12(GND):
* For more details on the test results description and demo projects, please refer to the Software User Guide.
 Open a UART console(e.g. Serial Port Utility) on PC, configure its serial communication format as the following:
– Data rate: 115200 baud/s;
– Data Bits: 8;
– Parity: None;
– Stop Bits: 1
– Flow Control: OFF
 Then you can see the test result output as below:

Debug Basics
DEBUG BASICS: STARTING THE DEBUGGER
 Debug configuration is only required once. Subsequent starting of debugger does not require those steps.
 Three options to start debugger:
– If the “Debug Configuration” has not been closed, click on “Debug” button on bottom right
– Select Run – Debug (or hit F11)
Note: This method currently selects the desktop target (project.elf) and gives an error. Do not use until this is changed.
Recommended Method: Click on pull down arrow for bug icon and select …_debug.elf target
DEBUG BASICS: STEP, RUN, SUSPEND, RESUME
 Step Into (F5)
 Step Over (F6)
 Step Return (F7)
 Run
 Suspend
 Resume (F8)
