S32R294 EVB User Guide Figure 9. RGMII Signal Connections to headers The S32R294 device supports both 3.3V and 1.8V supply and I/O levels for the ethernet interface, therefore the EVB includes support for both of these options. This can be selected by changing the connection of J64, as shown in the table below.

S32R294 EVB User Guide Figure 10. UART to USB interface 3.10 FlexRAY The EVB supports one FlexRay interface with an NXP TJA1080TS/N FlexRay transceiver (U8). For flexibility, the FlexRAY transceiver is connected to a FlexRAY connector P1. By default the FlexRAY interface is not enabled. To enable the FlexRAY interface the jumpers detailed in Table 6 need to be placed.

An external 256Mbits Serial NOR Flash memory ( MX25U25645G, U21) is connected to S32R294 via the QSPI interface. Since there is no internal Flash inside of the MCU, code can be stored in the external flash, then loaded into SRAM in MCU after power-on over QSPI interface.

Figure 12. QSPI Flash circuit 3.13 EEPROM An external 64Kb EEPROM (AT24C64D, U6) is connected to S32R294 via I2C interface. The I2C read address is 0xA0 and write address is 0xA1. By default the I2C interface is not enabled, which can be enabled by jumpers J67 & J68.
S32R294 EVB User Guide 3.14 BOOT Configuration The S32R294 device can support booting from different sources by applying a logic 1 or 0 to the BOOTMODE pins of the device, which in turn latches the input level on the RCON GPIO pins of the device at reset release.
