Install S32 Design Studio 3.5

Download and activate the NXP IDE — the host environment for the GenX plugin.

An NXP account is required to download S32DS. Registration is free at nxp.com. Note down your Activation Key from the License Keys tab before starting the installer.
  1. 1 Go to nxp.com → Search for S32DS 3.5 → Sign in / Register → Download "S32 Design Studio 3.5 – Windows/Linux"
  2. 2 In the download page, click the License Keys tab → note down the Activation Code (format: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) — you will need this during install
  3. 3 Open the downloaded ZIP → run the installer → accept the license → choose your installation directory (e.g. D:\NXP\)
  4. 4 When prompted for the Activation Key, paste the code from step 2 → select Online activation mode → click Next to complete installation
  5. 5 Once installation finishes, launch S32 Design Studio to verify it opens correctly
What You'll Have After This Step

Optional: SEGGER J-Link

For debug/flash via J-Link instead of P&E, download the J-Link Windows installer from segger.com/downloads/jlink and follow the wizard. Verify with J-Flash Lite — it should show S32K144 as the device.

Install S32K Development Packages RTM 4.0.2

Add the S32K1xx SDK and RTM 4.0.2 into S32DS via the Extensions manager — or install offline from a ZIP for air-gapped machines.

Your machine must have internet access for this method. S32DS connects to NXP update servers to download packages.
  1. 1 Open S32 Design Studio → Help → S32DS Extensions and Updates
  2. 2 Go to the Installed tab → if any updates are available, select all and click Install/Update → wait for completion → restart S32DS
  3. 3 Reopen Help → S32DS Extensions and Updates → in the search box type S32K1xx
  4. 4 Select both items:
    ✓ S32K1xx development package
    ✓ S32SDK S32K1XX RTM 4.0.2
  5. 5 Click Install/Update at the bottom → accept license → wait for download and installation to complete
  6. 6 Restart S32DS when prompted to apply the new packages
Packages Being Installed
S32K1xx Development Package
Board support for S32K116, K118, K142, K144, K146 — compiler, linker scripts, startup files
S32SDK S32K1XX RTM 4.0.2
MCAL drivers, HAL APIs, and real-time middleware for S32K1xx MCUs
Use this method for machines with no internet access. You will need to download the offline dev pack ZIP from NXP on a connected machine first, then transfer it.
  1. 1 On a machine with internet access, log in to nxp.com → go to the S32DS 3.5 download page → under the Files tab, download:
    SW32_S32DS_OfflineDevPack_3.5.x_Dxxxx.zip
  2. 2 Transfer the ZIP to your air-gapped machine (USB drive, shared network folder, etc.)
  3. 3 Open S32 Design Studio → Help → Install New Software…
  4. 4 Click Add… → in the dialog, click Archive… → browse to and select the offline dev pack ZIP file
  5. 5 Wait for the package list to load → select both:
    ✓ S32K1xx development package
    ✓ S32SDK S32K1XX RTM 4.0.2
  6. 6 Click Next → review items → Next again → accept license → Finish
  7. 7 Restart S32DS when prompted. Verify by going to Help → Installation Details — both packages should appear under Installed Software
Air-Gapped Install Notes
NXP login required to download the offline pack — register free at nxp.com if you don't have an account
File size is ~4.6 GB — allow time for download and transfer
Do not extract the ZIP before adding it in S32DS — the installer reads the archive directly
Deselect "Contact update sites" in the Install dialog to prevent timeout errors on offline machines
