General safety instructions Please read the following safety precautions carefully before putting this device to use to avoid any personal injuries, damage to the instrument, or to the target system. Use this instrument only for its intended purpose as specified by this manual to prevent potential hazards. Use included power cord and power supply The enclosed power supply has been approved for use by iSYSTEM.
NXP S32K344 NXP S32K344 Emulation Adapter is based on the 257-pin S32K344 superset device and provides full trace capabilities for the: 48-pin · 100-pin · 172-pin · NXP S32K344 / 342 / 341 / 324 / 322 / 314 / 312 / 311 microcontroller, where the trace port is not available or lacks the full trace capability.
Package content NXP S32K344 Emulation Adapter is delivered with all the components required for a standalone operation. Target adaptation parts for the Target board adaptation must be ordered separately. Power supply package NXP S32K344 Emulation Adapter Power converter Power adapter Ordering code: Ordering code: Ordering code:...
Options Target adaptation The Emulation Adapter adaptation to a specific target microcontroller pincount and package is done via a Conversion board and a Solder part. Sometimes also an optional Extender is available. Conversion boards connect between the Emulation Adapter and the matching Solder part, which is being soldered on the embedded target side.
Measurement board (optional) The Measurement board connects between the Emulation Adapter and the Conversion board. Embedded targets often do not have access to all the MCU pins / connected signals to connect with measurement equipment (oscilloscope, logic analyzer), its use provides easy access to all MCU pins.
Operation How to connect? How to connect Emulation Adapter (video) - short link: isystem.com/ea-intro · How to connect iSYSTEM Hardware (video) - short link: isystem.com/connect-hardware · Configuration DIP1: Target reset configuration DIP switch DIP1 connects the Emulation Adapter reset line and the target reset line and is on (position next to the white dot) by default.

Crystal socket Q1 schematics below: Trace port The superset microcontroller device being used on the Emulation Adapter features Slow and Fast trace signals. Slow trace signals are connected to ARM Mictor 38 and ARM CoreSight 20 target connectors provided by the Emulation Adapter. Fast trace signals share microcontroller I/O ports with other peripheral functionalities, and for this reason, they are connected towards the target for the user to use them according to their target application configuration and usage.

By default, all jumpers are set to connect your target power supply to the microcontroller on the Emulation Adapter. Note that only pins 1-2, 3-4 and 5-6 of the P2 connector must be bridged with jumpers, but for the convenience and ease of use, all jumpers are set. Pin 26 is the Key pin preventing incorrect connection of the IEA-PS Power converter when being used and plugged in.

Signal Direction is described from the BlueBox perspective. Be aware that debug and trace signals from the Emulation adapter superset device are not connected to the target board. They are exposed only to the connectors on the Emulation adapter. P3–P6: Emulation device pinout Connectors P3, P4, P5 and P6 on the bottom side of the Emulation Adapter expose all emulation device signals toward the Conversion board, through which the Emulation Adapter adapts to different pin count packages.

The Power converter can supply either 3.3 V or 5 V. The array of jumpers J0–J9 selects 3.3 V or 5 V voltage on the P3 connector, which connects to the Emulation Adapter. Signal Signal P3 connector and J0–J9 jumper correlation table For example, when J2 is in the 3V3 position, it supplies 3.3 V to pin 6 of the P3 connector.

Assembly QFP Fixed Watch out that the pin 1 position and alignment of all pins. Avoid disassembling and reassembling the hardware setup too frequently. 1. Solder the Solder part [B] on the target PCB [A] to get a BA setup. Use the Surface Mount Technology (SMT) to solder the Solder parts to the target instead of the original microcontroller.

Slot screw The Slot screw (30mm) is used to fix the Conversion board to the Solder part. The setup becomes mechanically more robust.Screw the Conversion board to the Solder part first, before the Emulation Adapter is attached on top and watch out not to break out the Solder part, e.g., if you accidentally hit the Emulation Adapter from the side.
