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.

How To Get Started?
•User often thinks …. “from where should I start working with this device?”
•In this section will walk you through the steps of “how to get started?”
−We will start with the simple out-of-box experience and move forward by understanding
different pieces of HW/SW one by one

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
