Out-of-box experience: SBC-S32V234 1 of 2
The SBC-S32V234 is a
low-cost development
platform for S32V234
vision processor.
SBC-S32V234 is a system-
on-module concept
developed by NXP partner,
MicroSys Electronics
GmbH. It comprises of a
Module board mounted on
a Carrier board. The
module board contains
S32V234 processor,
external memories and
power regulators for
module, while the carrier
contains all system specific
peripherals like Camera
Connectors, Ethernet, SD
card slot, CANs, LIN etc.
This arrangement gives
customers flexibility of
designing their own carrier
board while still reusing the
same module board. Heat Shield

1
Connect Power Supply and USB Cable
Connect board with 12V/2A DC power supply. Keep the board
power off.
Connect one end of the USB cable to the PC and the other end to
the micro-B connector on the SBC-S32V234 board. Allow the PC to
automatically configure the USB drivers.
2
Install and Start Serial Terminal
Install and open any serial terminal (e.g. TeraTerm, Putty etc.).
Select the port where board is connected and configure it to 115200
baud rate, 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit.
3
Insert the SD card and Power on the Device
The box contains SD card loaded with Linux BSP. Please make sure
it is inserted into SD card slot.
Power on the device by pressing Power Button.
You can now see SBC-S32V234 booting U-
boot followed by Linux in
the terminal window.

Understand Linux BSP and Vision SDK
•As a part of the complete ecosystem NXP’s SW team has developed Linux Board
Support Package(BSP) and Vision SDK(VSDK)
•Linux runs on S32V SoC and supports various NXP development boards
−Using Yocto distribution, it can be customized to suit user application as well
•VSDK helps to develop vision processing applications that can run as a standalone
program or on an OS (like Linux, QNX)
•To understand different components of Linux BSP and VSDK please read:

Run Linux BSP that supports VSDK 1 of 3
•The Linux BSP that comes with the SBC-S32V234 is Vanilla BSP and need to be
changed with the customized Linux BSP that supports VSDK
−This customized Linux BSP is inherited from the Vanilla BSP itself
•Let us get started with swapping Linux BSP in your SD-card
−Download VSDK (contact your Marketer/Sales person to get an access)
−Go to vsdk_installation_dir/s32v234_sdk/os
−Unzip build_content.tar.gz and retrieve buid_content folder

•Follow the instructions in README.txt file to flash SD-card
•Note: U-boot and dtb files available in this folder are for the other NXP EVBs. For SBC-S32V234 EVB use
the u-boot dtb files provided by your marketer/sales person/application engineer.
•Note: Use the Image and rootfs from this folder.

•Now that we have our device up and running, the next step is to start the application
development.
•To aid the developer, NXP provides a free IDE called S32 Design Studio for Vision
(S32DS for Vision)
−It includes:
1. Support for Standalone & Linux Application Development
2. Integrated Vision SDK
3. Integrated APEX and ISP graph tools
4. Built-in Compilers (e.g. GCC, NXP’s APEX compiler)
5. 3rd party SW support (e.g. OpenCV)
6. Built-in demos
and many more…

Graph Tools integrated into S32DS for Vision
−APEX and ISP visual graph tools provide easy to use graphical interface to develop
vision pipeline for this dedicated vision accelerators on S32V
−Code generated from APEX and ISP graph tool can be used in any application developed
with and without IDE
•Please follow the Tutorials below to learn “how to use visual graph tools?” (both
