1.2. Modular concept
For maximum flexibility and simplicity, the EVB has been designed as a modular development
platform. The EVB main board does not contain an MCU. Instead, the MCU is fitted to an MCU
daughter card (occasionally referred to as an adapter board). This approach means that the same EVB
platform can be used for multiple packages and MCU derivatives within the MPC57xx and further
families. High density connectors provide the interface between the EVB and MCU daughter cards as
shown in the diagram below. See section 3.7 for more details on the daughter cards and section 4.8 for
more details on the interface connectors.

Please consult the website at www.nxp.com or speak to your NXP representative for more details on the
availability of MCU daughter cards.
NOTE
For details on your specific daughter card, please consult the instructions
included with the daughter card.
The EVB is designed to use the motherboard and the daughter card in conjunction. However, it is
possible to use the daughter cards standalone.
1.3. Daughter card availability
A number of compatible daughter cards are available for the motherboard across a number of devices.
Table 2 gives an overview of daughter cards that can be used with MPC57xx motherboard and
associated devices, package sizes and part numbers.

All daughter cards will be similar in design and concept. For details on the daughter cards please refer to
section 3.7. It should be noted that both daughtercards listed are the same physical board, but separate
part numbers exist in order to differentiate between the silicon part included in the box. Both S32R274
and S32R372 257BGA package devices are supported by either daughtercard part number as they are
pin compatible. Some features of the EVB are not supported by the S32R372 device however, please see
the S32R372 device reference manual for a full list of the differences between the devices.
2.EVB features
The EVB system consists of a motherboard and a daughter card, both with distinct features.
The mother board provides the following key features:
•Support provided for different MCUs by utilising MCU daughter cards

one connected to a dedicated third CAN module
•Ethernet interface
•Variable resistor, driving between 5 V and ground
•Four user switches and four user LEDs, freely connectable
•Liberal scattering of GND test points (surface mount loops) placed throughout the EVB
The daughter cards provide the following features:
•MCU (soldered or through a socket)
•Flexible MCU clocking options allow provision of an external clock via SMA connector or 40
MHz EVB clock oscillator circuit. Solder pads on the daughter card allow selection between
these external clocks. SMA connectors (including differential clock input) on CLKIN signal for
easy access.
•User reset switch with reset status LED
•Standard 14-pin JTAG debug connector and 34-pin Nexus Aurora connector
•10-pin Serial Interprocessor Interface (SIPI) connector
•Gb Ethernet Physical interface IC, with RJ45 connector
•MIPI-CSI2 connector intended for use with Eagle MR3003 RADAR front end EVK (Evaluation
Kit)
•Liberal scattering of ground and test points (surface mount loops) placed throughout the EVB
NOTE
To alleviate confusion between jumpers and headers, all EVB jumpers are
implemented as 2 mm pitch whereas headers are 0.1 inch (2.54 mm). This
prevents inadvertently fitting a jumper to a header.
CAUTION
Before the EVB is used or power is applied, please fully read the
following sections on how to correctly configure the board. Failure to
correctly configure the board may cause irreparable component, MCU or
EVB damage.

3.Configuration
This section details the configuration of each of the EVB functional blocks.
The EVB has been designed with ease of use in mind and has been segmented into functional blocks as
shown below. Detailed silkscreen legend has been used throughout the board to identify all switches,
jumpers and user connectors.
Figure 2. EVB functional blocks
3.1. Power supply configuration
The EVB requires an external power supply voltage of 12 V DC, minimum 1.5 A. This allows the EVB
to be easily used in a vehicle if required. The single input voltage is regulated on-board using three
switching regulators to provide the necessary EVB and MCU operating voltages of 5.0 V, 3.3 V and
1.25 V, and one 5 V linear regulator for the ADC supplies and references.

For flexibility there are two different power supply input connectors on the motherboard as detailed
below. There is also a power supply option on the daughter card to use the daughter card in standalone
mode. Refer to section 4.1.2 for details on the daughter card power input.
3.1.1. Motherboard powers supply connectors
2.1 mm Barrel Connector –P26:
Figure 3. 2.1 mm power connector
Screw Terminal Power Connector –P33:
This can be used to connect a bare wire lead to the EVB, typically from a laboratory power supply. The
polarisation of the connectors is clearly marked on the EVB (Pin 1 = +12 V). Care must be taken to
ensure correct connection.
Figure 4. Screw terminal power connector
3.1.2. Regulator power jumpers
There are four power regulator circuits on the MPC57xx motherboard that supply the required voltages
to operate the MCUs:

Configuration
S32R274/372 EVB User Guide, Rev. 0, 08/2018
NXP Semiconductors 7
•1.25V_SR: 1.25 V switching regulator to supply the core voltage
•5V_SR: 5 V switching regulator to supply the power management controller, I/O and peripherals
•3.3V_SR: 3.3 V switching regulator for Ethernet, FlexRAY, debug and I/O
•5V_LR: 5 V linear regulator for ADC supply and reference
All of the regulators have the option of being disabled/enabled if they are not required. By default
(jumpers are off), all of the switching regulators are enabled and the 5 V linear regulator is disabled. The
regulators can be enabled individually by the following jumper settings:
•Connecting J57 enables the 5 V linear regulator
•Disconnecting J58 enables the 5 V switching regulator
•Disconnecting J59 enables the 3.3 V switching regulator
•Disconnecting J60 enables the 1.25 V switching regulator
The regulators supply power to the daughter cards through the board connector. The individual selection
and configuration of the MCU supplies are done on the daughter cards.
NOTE
Not all the supported daughter card MCUs require all the supplies to be
switched on. Please refer to the individual daughter card user guide for
details.
3.1.3. Power switch, status LEDs and fuse
The main power switch (slide switch SW5) can be used to isolate the power supply input from the EVB
voltage regulators if required.
•Moving the slide switch to the right (away from connector P33) will turn the EVB on
•Moving the slide switch to the left (towards connector P33) will turn the EVB off
When power is applied to the EVB, four green power LEDs adjacent to the voltage regulators show the
presence of the supply voltages as follows:
•LED D9 –Indicates that the 5.0 V linear regulator is enabled and working correctly
•LED D11 –Indicates that the 5.0 V switching regulator is enabled and working correctly
•LED D12 –Indicates that the 3.3 V switching regulator is enabled and working correctly
•LED D13 –Indicates that the 1.25 V switching regulator is enabled and working correctly
If no LED is illuminated when power is applied to the EVB and the regulators are correctly enabled
using the appropriate jumpers, it is possible that either power switch SW5 is in the “OFF” position or
that the fuse F1 has blown. The fuse will blow if power is applied to the EVB in reverse-bias, where a
protection diode ensures that the main fuse blows rather than causing damage to the EVB circuitry. If
the fuse has blown, check the bias of your power supply connection then replace fuse F1 with a 20 mm
1.5 A fast blow fuse.

connectors to provide physical CAN interfaces for the MCU.
The pinout of the DB9 connector (J2) is shown in the figure below.
Figure 5. CAN DB9 connector pinout
For flexibility, the CAN transceiver I/Os are also connected to two standard 0.1” connectors (P4 and P5)
at the top side of the PCB. The pin-out for these connectors is shown in the figure below.
Figure 6. CAN 3pin header interface connector
By default the CAN interfaces are not enabled. To enable the CAN interfaces the jumpers detailed in
Table 3 need to be placed.

3.4. LIN configuration
The EVB is fitted with an NXP MC33661F LIN transceiver (U50) and two different style connectors: A
standard LIN Molex connector (J14) at the edge of the board and a standard 0.1" connector (P3).
The pin-out of the Molex connector J4 is shown in the figure below.
Figure 8. LIN Molex connector
For flexibility, the LIN transceiver is also connected to a standard 0.1” connector (P3) at the top side of
the PCB as shown in Figure 9. For ease of use, the 12V EVB supply is fed to pin1 of P3 and the LIN
transceiver power input to pin2. This allows the LIN transceiver to be powered directly from the EVB
supply by simply linking pins 1 and 2 of connector P3 using a 0.1" jumper shunt.
Figure 9. LIN 4pin header interface connector
By default the LIN interface is not enabled. To enable the LIN interface the jumpers detailed in Table 5
need to be placed.
