in reply to: PWM high side drive control  #19177

Hi David,

Is it possible that the power supply is limiting current and forcing the VCU to reset?
How inductive are the loads you are driving?
Which outputs are you using currently?

in reply to: PWM low side drivers #19176

Hi David,

How much current draw each of the LSOs have?
Does the CAN communication completely go away? Or it starts missing some messages?

Thanks,
Amir

in reply to: FlexCase E 2.1 RB with JTAG enable – JTAG connection issue #19175

Hi Omkar,

It seems like you were using the JTAg only for debugging over Freemaster. Is that right?

When you say JTAG stopped working, do you mean you cannot flash code on the MCU? Or you can’t debug it over Freemaster?

May I also know if you have already checked all the hardware connections? The cable and the PeMicro header can be the source of disconnection as well.

Furthermore, let me know what is the resource/MAP file you are using for Freemaster? Is it the same elf file generated with the binary code when you generate your code?

Thanks,
Amir

Hi Akhila,

There has been an error with the uploaded file. Could you please upload the file again?
Thanks.

in reply to: LIN communication in flexcase E #19141

Hi Akhila,
I didn’t see your mex file in the attached zip. If you have configured the pins correctly in the mex file, please consider checking the following points:
1. To enable the transceiver, you need to drive the LIN_EN pin(PTB19) HIGH. You also need to drive PTB18 high to have the transceiver in Master(commander) mode. If FlexCase is in LIN slave, there is no need to drive the PTB18.
2. Every LIN bus should have only one master. Slave devices can be more than one. You can use Peak-Lin in both Master and Slave modes.
3. Which MBDT version are you using? And how are you connecting to MCU for FreeMaster?

in reply to: Reading the PWM on PLC Multiplexed Digital Input 12 #19110

Hi Kantesh,
You can read the DICP or DI12 in the same way you read all other digital inputs.
If you want to read the DI12 in GPIO mode, you need to define the pin in both Dio MCAL and in the pinout section in the config tool. For digital status read, you can use SIUL2.

For PWM reads, you need to add a custom C code in your Simulink. Also, you need to set the pin in the config tool as input EMIOS, modify the pin in ICU MCAL, and set the clock reference, and interrupt setting.

You can take a look at the attached example for both GPIO and PWM applications.
Example file is compatible with MatlabR2022a and MBDT1.4. This is not part of our standard templates. Please use with caution.

Thanks,
Amir

in reply to: FCG Setup #19099

Hi Mobina,

Every time you build the code, Simulink tries to upload the generated files directly to the specified hardware(S32K3 in this case). So, this is an expected message, as Simulink can’t find the MCU, because this needs a direct connection to the MCU or some sort of onboard debugger. You are using another method to flash your binary files to the MCU over CAN using the FlexCase Flash software.
So, please ignore this message and select “abort” every time it pops up.

in reply to: FCE/G Configurations #18986

Unfortunately, the feedback ADCs for high-side outputs from 8 to 10 are unusable on ADC_MA channels. This is a bug on FCE2.0 and is resolved in the next versions.

As a workaround for feedback for HSO9/10 ADC, you can use another ADC channel ID available on that pin(ADC1_S18). Just ensure the secondary channel ID is not being used on any other physical pin.

Unfortunately, there is no workaround for the feedback pin for HSO7/8.

Thanks,
Amir

in reply to: Unlocking the bootloader on FlexCase E with Red Beet #18981

Thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately, because of ASIL safety features JTAG flashing is disabled by default on FCE2.1 boards. Please get in touch with us directly to discuss this matter further.
Thanks,
Amir

Hi Kantesh. May I ask what are trying to achieve with JTAG flashing? And why aren’t you using flash over CAN?
In general, you won’t be able to flash over JTAG on FCE2.1, unless you have a special development board to do it.

in reply to: FlexCase E Not Communicating over CAN #18946

Could you confirm that you are writing to the same CAN that is connected to your PCAN device?
I believe that for flashing software you are using CAN2(CAN2L->pin C3, CAN2H->C4). Can you confirm that the CAN write block you are using in your Simulink is also for CAN2?
Also, please don’t remove the termination throughout the connection.
Please see the attached image.
Thanks,
Amir

Hello Rishabh,

We will work on this feature and let you know as soon as we have an update.

in reply to: Digital Output(Do) Feedback #18494

Hi Rushikeshkale,

Please see the guide on HSO feedback for details on how feedback channel works with HSO.

1) PTG2 configured as output and PTC10 as input, where both the pins are connected to the same VCU pin J1-L1, So we are expecting that if we set the PTG2 High and the J1_L1 get shorted to Ground then we should get zero in feedback which is read by PTC10. Instead on shorting(J1_L1) with ground the VCU get On-OFF.

You can set PTG2 as PWM output and PTC10 as ADC input. These two pins are not directly connected. SO, when J1-L1 gets shorted to GND, there will be a ~3V measured on PTC10.

Please make sure that VBATT stays above 9V in the event of a short circuit on HSO11 because a voltage drop on VBATT can cause a reset in the VCU.

Sincerely,
Amir

in reply to: FCE2.1 PIN connection to QCA chip #18480

Hi Xuanlang,

The reset pin is not connected to the S32K344 and the only pins connected between PLC module and the MCU are 4 SPI pins, and 1 interrupt pin. Slod, no other GPO, or Eth pins are connected to MCU.

Thanks,
Amir

in reply to: FLEXCASE E 2.1 SPI Communication CLOCK Problem #18478

Hi Xuanlang,

1. For MBDT1.3 you can find the SpiSamplePoint in the following path in the config tool:
Peripherals>Spi>SpiGeneral>SpiPhyUnit>SpiSamplePoint.

2. If changing the SpiSamplePoint didn’t help, please use the workaround. In this approach, you set up the SPI such that there is no CLK jitter, let the Spi Phy Unit control a dummy CS(like PTF19, as mentioned before), and control the actual CS pin as GPIO in the code. This way, you get to control the CS manually, and there will be no clock jitter.

Sincerely,
Amir
