NXP S32K1xx - Application build on Windows

Synopsys

This guide illustrates how to build and run a first ERIKA Enterprise v3 application for S32K144EVB or S32K148EVB boards.

There are currently three ways to compile and generate a binary including ERIKA for the S32K1xx:

• Using the Eclipse environment (this wiki page)
  • OIL File editing integrated in Eclipse
  • No integrated debugger support (you will need Lauterbach Trace32)

Prerequisites

Please remember to install Java, Cygwin, and Doxygen to obtain the full functionality described in this tutorial.
