37. The console window will show the log of generation. Once the generation is completed a log message displaying
“INFO : Generation complete” will be displayed on the Console window.
38. The generated configurations will be available at “..\examples\EthernetSimple\EthernetSimple\config”.
8.3.2 Integrate the generated configurations to Make system
Integrate the generated BSW configuration and demo application in your make system and import IPCF makefile into your
application makefile. The apps folder inside the /Examples/IPCF/LS1043A directory take care of this part. Copy the generated
configuration files from /EthernetSimple/config/ to /apps/samples/cal_ipcf_rx_tx/config/. Next step is to run the build which will be
covered later in the scope of this document.
A brief description describing the “apps” folder containing the IPCF application is given below:

1. The “apps” folder is contained outside the core directory for your application.
2. A source folder “cal_ipcf_rx_tx” is inside the apps folder. A folder named “src” will be inside “cal_ipcf_rx” folder. The “src”
folder shall contain 3 more folders inside viz src, config and obj_mpc5748g_mpc574xg_mb.
3. The src folder inside src directory will contain all the .c files that are present in the example Ethernet Simple src folder viz
IoHwAb.c, os_hooks.c, PlatformTasks.c, SwcReader.c and SwcWriter.c along with the application c file cal_ipcf_rx_tx.c
that calls the udp_mcapi_demo_task in it.
4. The “config” folder will contain all the generated files. Copy all the generated configurations from the ethernet simple
example config folder to this folder.
5. obj_mpc5748g_mpc574xg_mb will contain all the generated object files along with the elf once build is done.
6. A shell script “build.sh” will be present that calls the correct paths of AUTOSAR stack(core), the ipcf library and ghs
compiler.
7. The build_config.mk file available at “..\examples\EthernetSimple\EthernetSimple” is copied to the src folder.
8. A makefile is created to append the application header lookup paths, object file list and the list of libraries to include.
8.3.3 Msys and Mingw tool installation
1. Msys and mignw are the tools required to build ipcf application.
2. The setups come installed with Arctic Studio 17.0.1.
3. If not installed, follow the steps at the link “http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSYS”or directly download from the download links
provided in the section Software requirements.
8.3.4 AUTOSAR source build
1. Open build.sh file in an editor and make sure the paths to the asr_stack, ipcf_root and ghs are correctly set as shown in
the snapshot:
2. The C:\ directory here is accessed using “/c/” and make sure all the paths have a forward slash “/” instead of the general
backward slash “\” in windows.
3. Open msys tool. In its terminal cd to the directory where the build.sh file is kept as shown in the snapshot:

10. The Linux image is loaded into the NAND memory. As the default boot of every board is NOR, the U-Boot is booted
from NOR and the Linux image is booted from the NAND flash.

11. The Linux shell will ask for login, enter root and press Enter. The Linux shell is up.
9.2.2 Using SD boot
9.2.2.1 Hardware settings
For SD boot, follow the hardware settings as mentioned in Resistor configurations on page 6
By default, R85 and R493 are not installed. Hence, simply install R493 (4.7K) to change the board boot mode to SD boot.
9.2.2.2 Flashing software
Connect the SD card on a Linux Ubuntu machine. Check the device name using the command sudo fdisk -l. (In this case, the
device name is /dev/sde1, hence sde is the main device. So, we use /dev/sde as the device name.)
Prepare SD card to flash the required images later:
1. export DEVSD=/dev/sde
2. sudo fdisk ${DEVSD}
3. Press “d”. (Repeat unitl all the partitions are deleted)
4. Press “n”. This creates a new partition.
5. Press “p”. This creates a primary partition.
6. Press “1”. The first partition.
7. Press Enter. This will create a partition that starts at offset 2048.
8. Press “t”. To set partition type.
9. Press “1” to select partition number 1. Note: If “1” is already entered in the command and displayed, directly go to the
next step.
10. Now type “83” to select Linux file system.
11. Press “w”. This writes the partition table and fdisk exits
12. This newly created partition need to be formatted to be usable. Firstly, remove and put SD Card back into its slot, then
run the following commands to format the partition:
sudo mkfs.ext3 -L rootfs ${DEVSD}1
Now copy all the binaries (U-Boot, fman, ppa, Linux) in a single directory on Ubuntu machine, and execute the following set of
commands to flash them on SD card.
NOTE
RCW is a part of the U-Boot image in case of SD, hence it will not be flashed separately.
Flash SD card:
1. U-Boot: u-boot: u-boot-with-spl-pbl_sd.bin(image build as in section SD Boot)
sudo dd if=u-boot-with-spl-pbl_sd.bin of=/dev/ sde bs=512 seek=8
2. PPA: ppa.itb
sudo dd if=ppa.itb of=/dev/sde bs=512 seek=8192
3. Fman: fsl_fman_ucode_ls1043_r1.1_106_4_18.bin
sudo dd if=fsl_fman_ucode_ls1043_r1.1_106_4_18.bin of=/dev/sde bs=512 seek=18432

4. Linux: kernel-ls1043a-rdb.itb
sudo dd if=kernel-ls1043a-rdb.itb of=/dev/sde bs=512 seek=32768
Put the SD card into the micro SD card slot and power on MPC-LS VNP EVB to view the U-Boot and Linux console.
10 How to run the application
This section describes the steps for running the applications of both the getting started packages on LS1043A and MPC5748G.
10.1 LS1043A
10.1.1 Package 1: Socket based application
On the Linux console, write the below commands:
1. >>ifconfig eth2 192.168.0.11 up
2. >>./ls_rx
NOTE
Make sure the binary flashed to MPC5748G is the one provided in the package 1.
10.1.2 Package 2 IPCF Linux application
The default application on Linux runs as soon as the user login into the shell. This application assigns the eth2 port of LS1043A
with an ip address of 192.168.0.11 and executes the “get_status” command that sends the “get_status” command to MPC5748G
and then receive the response and status back from it. In case MPC5748G fails to respond, LS1043A exits the application after
a wait time of 5 seconds.
Note 1: Make sure the binary flashed to MPC5748G is the one provided in the package 2.
Note 2: For Windows 10, the serial COM port will not be detected, and the CDM v2.12.28 WHQL driver must be installed for it.
For steps to install the driver refer the quick start guide for MPC-LS-VNP-EVB.

How to run the application
If the user wants to run the application again, follow the below step:
1. ./ls_ipcf_tx_rx <command>
<command> accepts the following parameters as input:
• get_status : LS1043A seeks status from MPC5748G, waits for response and MPC5748G responds with the status of switch
initialization, spi initialization, tcpip initialization and successful LS1043A out of reset. LS1043A prints the status on console.
• led_on : Sends command to MPC5748G to switch the DS3 LED on.
• led_off : Sends command to MPC5748G to switch the DS3 LED off.
Help menu is displayed if the user leaves the command field empty.
The output of the commands are as shown below:

CodeWarrior CCS
10.2 MPC5748G
The application runs as soon as the executable file is flashed to it for both bare-metal and AUTOSAR software (i.e. for both package
1 and package 2).
In the case of bare-metal software, MPC5748G sends UDP packets to LS1043A continuously.
In the case of AUTOSAR software, MPC5748G waits to receive command from LS1043A over IPCF.
