  • Page 12: Hardware Setup

    2.2 Hardware Setup All examples provided with the Model-Based Design Toolbox were developed on DEVKIT- MPC5744P as primary target. Additional information about this development kit can be found on NXP official web page here. Before running any example on the DEVKIT-MPC5744P a proper communication setup between the board and the host PC must be enabled.

  • Page 13: Bootloader Setup

    4. When powered through USB, LEDs DS1, DS2 and DS5 should light green; 2.3 BootLoader Setup To be able to download the applications from MATLAB/Simulink to the target we need to program a special application called RBF into the MCU flash memory. For the first time programming you need to have the S32 Design Studio for PA IDE installed.
  • Page 14 3. Click on the C/C++ Application Browse button to navigate to the {Model-Based Design Toolbox installation folder}\code\tools\BootLoader\ RBF_Files and choose the appropriate RBF image to be flashed on your setup. Note: each file contains in its name the interfaces allowed for Flash Tool download communication.

  • Page 16 5. Click on Flash button to start the flash programming sequence. The debugger will connect with the target selected and will start to flash the RBF image into the non- volatile memory of the target. At this point the target should be ready for receiving applications from MATLAB/Simulink environment over the UART interface connected via OpenSDA.
