S32K144 DEVELOPMENT KIT FOR 3-PHASE PMSM AND BLDC MOTOR CONTROL
S32K144 development kit for 3-phase PMSM and BLDC motor control
GET TO KNOW THE S32K144EVB
GET TO KNOW DEVKIT-MOTORGD
HEADER/PINOUT FOR PMSM MOTOR CONTROL
S32K144EVB controls DEVKIT-MOTORGD through inner pins of the I/O headers.
Inner pins of the I/O headers are Arduino compatible. Pins in red are
configurable, this is the pin configuration for PMSM motor control (see jumper
options on page 11).
HEADER/PINOUT FOR BLDC MOTOR CONTROL
S32K144EVB controls DEVKIT-MOTORGD through inner pins of the I/O headers.
Inner pins of the I/O headers are Arduino compatible. Pins in red are
configurable, this is the pin configuration for BLDC motor control (see jumper
options on page 11).

STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Download Software
Download installation software and documentation at nxp.com/AutoMCDevKits.
Install S32 Design Studio IDE for Arm®
Download and install S32 Design Studio IDE for Arm available at nxp.com /S32DS-Arm.
Install FreeMASTER
Download and install FreeMASTER run-time debugging tool available at
nxp.com/FreeMASTER.
Configure S32K144EVB and DEVKIT-MOTORGD boards
Ensure default S32K144EVB and DEVKITMOTORGD jumper options (page 11).Place
DEVKIT-MOTORGD jumpers J9, J10, J11 to position 1-2 for PMSM application or
2-3 for BLDC application (page 11). Ensure that motor phase wires are in
order: white, blue, green from phase A to phase C.
Connect the Power Supply
Connect the 12 V power supply to the power supply terminals on the
DEVKITMOTORGD board. Keep the DC supply voltage within the range of 8 to 18 V.
The DC power supply voltage affects the maximum motor speed.
Connect the USB Cable
Connect S32K144EVB to the PC using the USB cable. Allow the PC to
automatically configure the USB drivers if needed.
STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED
Select Application and MCU Programming
Select the appropriate PMSM or BLDC motor control application from the
installed directory NXP\MCSPTE1AK144\sw. Select one of the next two steps (8
or 9) for MCU programming.
Re-program the MCU using MSD Flash Programmer
Copy and paste or drag and drop the Motorola S-record *.srec file from the
project folder to the S32K144EVB disk drive.The software is directly
programmed into the flash memory of the S32K144 MCU and executed
automatically.
Reprogram the MCU using S32 Design Studio
Import the installed application software project in the S32 Design Studio
for Arm®:
-
Start S32 DS for Arm application.
-
Click File–Import.
-
Select General–Existing Projects into Workspace.
-
Navigate to the installed application directory:
NXP\MC_DevKits\MCSPTE1AK144\sw, choose an appropriate project, and click OK. -
Click Finish.
-
Click Run – Debug.
FrSetupeeMASTER
- Start the FreeMASTER application
- Open *.pmp FreeMASTER project from the project folder
FreeMASTER_control by clicking File – Open Project. - Click the green GO! button in the FreeMASTER toolbar or press CTRL+G to enable the communication.
- Successful communication is signalized in the status bar at the very bottom as “RS232 UART Communication; COMn; speed = 115200”.
APPLICATION CONTROL
- Click the App Control tab in the MCAT tool menu to display the application control page. When the power supply is connected to the DEVKIT-MOTOGD board, the application is in a READY state indicated by the green LED on the S32K144EVB board. RGB LED also indicates:
- READY, INIT states lighting green LED
- CALIB, ALIGN states flashing green LED
- RUN state lighting blue LED
- FAULT state lighting red LED
- In case of pending faults, click the fault button Clear FAULT on the FreeMASTER MCAT Control Page, or alternatively press and hold SW2 and SW3 buttons on S32K144EVB board simultaneously.
- Start the application by pressing the ON/OFF button on the FreeMASTER MCAT control page or by pressing switch SW2/SW3 on S32K144EVB to initiate clockwise/ counter clockwise rotor spinning direction.
- Set required speed by changing the Speed Required variable value manually in the variable watch window, by clicking speed gauge, or by pressing the switch SW2/SW3.
- To stop the application, click the ON/OFF button on the FreeMASTER MCAT control page or press and hold SW2 and SW3 buttons on S32K144EVB board simultaneously.
