Overview

This quick start guide provides detailed instructions for the installation, licensing, and configuration of the NXP Model-Based Design Toolbox (MBDT) for RADAR. It facilitates target-based automatic code generation for NXP S32R45 radar processors, specifically targeting the ARM Cortex-A53 core, SPT accelerator, and LAX accelerator. The document outlines system requirements, procedures for both offline and online MATLAB Add-on installation, and license activation steps using the NXP Toolbox Installation Guide. It also covers technical configuration for external dependencies such as S32 Design Studio and the Radar SDK, toolchain generation for Embedded Coder, and setup for Linux-based target communication and microSD card imaging.

Use Cases

  • Automotive radar signal processing development
  • Rapid prototyping for S32R45 radar applications
  • Automated deployment of MATLAB models to NXP radar hardware
  • Toolchain integration for NXP SPT and LAX accelerators
