Overview

In this blog, we will get to know how to use FreeMaster Desktop Application Via S32 Design Studio. for NXP Semiconductors S32 automotive Microcontrollers. We Will be using ElecronicsV2 Development Board which has ARM Coretx M4 Processor based Automotive Microcontroller: S32K144

The objective of this blog series is to teach people on how to use FreeMaster Desktop application: which is a great tool for run time debugging, as it provides run time debug monitor(Oscilloscope, Watch Grid, sending 2-way commands) and data visualization (Creating animated GUI pages).

The best part about this is that real time debugging and tracing can be done without any expensive or heavy debuggers (SWO/Jlink/JTAG/Lauterbach/PEMicro or etc) and that too on interesting GUI pages. One can Interface FreeMaster with our Target Development Board (ElecronicsV2/AutoboardV1), via UART, CAN, ProBug Jlink Debugger or even over TCP/IP network.

This is getting started blog to learn and teach how to use FreeMaster Desktop Application. Initially we will be using it via UART and ProBug Debugger. In later blogs and stages, we will be interfacing it via CAN, TCP/IP and exploiting many other features of FreeMaster.
