Kiwami 2 Update V1 2-codex | Yakuza

So, hello guys, welcome to Gettobyte website. This blog is part of the Microcontroller coding series on NXP Semiconductors S32K144 MCU. Objective of this series is to learn Microcontroller technology by getting knowledge on how to do microcontroller coding. And for doing so we would be proceeding with NXP Semiconductors S32K144 Microcontroller. To know about this Microcontroller and reasons for selecting this MCU, it would be nice to have a look onto this blog.

There are many things in Microcontroller to learn and often it becomes very cumbersome and overwhelming from where to start and how. So, in This Microcontroller coding series we would be moving step-by step. Starting From Application side: that is peripherals of MCU and then rooting back to inner details of microcontroller. Dot worry just hold back your nerve, subscribe to channel newsletter and follow the series.

Now one of the first thing that is needed for doing Microcontroller coding is the Integrated Development environment (IDE).  NXP Semiconductors, provide its own IDE for doing microcontroller coding on S32 series of controller, that is S32 Design Studio. So, at first, we would be covering what is S32 Design Studio and How to use it. As throughout the microcontroller coding on S32K144 MCU, we would be using this IDE for doing hand-on practical programming to learn/understand things.

We have divided S32 Design Studio in 3 blogs for covering all things in chronlogical and story format so as to make things in interesting and fun way. Below are the links for using S32 Design Studio.

  2. Getting Started with Design Studio Part 2 – gettobyte
  3. Getting Started with S32 Design Studio Part 3 – gettobyte

The motive of this blog is to: 

  1. IDE and Software Installation: SDK download/Development tool download/S32 Extensions & Updates.
  2. Making a Project: Importing project from example/making project from scratch/Opening already developed code.
  3. Project Configuration and Settings

S32 Design Studio is a C/C++ development platform, for programming NXP S32 microcontrollers and microprocessors.

The C/C++ development platform of S32 Design Studio is itself based on Open-Source Eclipse IDE, which provides the features like Text Editor: for writing the code, Views: for showing information about the code, Perspectives: for providing the functionality to do specific types of tasks and advanced C/C++ code base navigation/development features.

It is an, Integrated Development Environment (IDE), for programming and debugging of ARM and Power Architecture-based S32 Microcontrollers. Just like Arduino IDE is there for programming Arduino, same way S32 DS is used for programming S32 Automotive microcontrollers of NXP Semiconductors.

S32 Design Studio IDE comes in 3 Variants: S32DS for S32 Platform, S32DS for ARM, and S32 DS for Power Architecture. The major difference between these IDEs is the support of S32 MCUs. As shown below pic:

We will be focusing on S32 Design Studio for the S32 Platform, as it supports the majority of S32 Microcontrollers. So throughout the blog by S32 Design Studio we will be referring to S32 Design Studio for S32 Platform.

S32 Design Studio has specs as follows:

  • S32 Design Studio is based on Open Eclipse IDE, and it supports the GNU GCC compiler. Green Hills, IAR Compilers, and ARM processor toolchain.
  • S32 Design Studio has a text editor for writing the programs, with C/CPP programming widgets and modules.
  • S32 DS is a modular IDE in which there is support for many embedded programming features in the form of different perspectives.
  • S32 Design Studio also has a Code Configuration Tool S32 CCT, for selecting and configuring the peripherals of selected S32 microcontroller Via Graphic User Interface, making it easy to write the application and quickly.
  • S32 Design Studio also has compiler support of GNU GCC, so that we can directly build and compile the code from IDE via its GUI Interface to generate the elf of our program written.
  • Also, S32 Design studio has support of programming and debugging the generated elf into the hardware. It supports drivers for Jlink and PEmicro debuggers/programmers. It supports GDB and Openocd software debugging, these are the software packages that are required to program and debug the ARM Processors.

S32 Design Studio has features like:

The v1.2 patch was primarily celebrated for its "bursting out of beta" to deliver essential graphical toggles and stability fixes. Most notably, it introduced the ability to

There is a notable absence of a publicly available, official changelog for the v1.2 update. However, based on the pattern of patches around this time, the changes in "Yakuza Kiwami 2 Update V1.2-CODEX" were likely a mix of general performance and stability enhancements, incorporating the cumulative fixes from official SEGA updates up to that version number.

Copy the cracked files from the CODEX folder to the game’s installation directory, overwriting the existing files.

While the v1.2 update is several years old, Sega and RGG Studio released

Patch V1.2 adjusted some NPC dialogue timing. A veteran player, Taro, replayed a scene he’d known by heart and noticed one line—previously a throwaway—now paused in a way that emphasized a lost father’s name. The line matched the name on a memorial plaque Taro had been trying to track down for years. He followed the clue to a quiet temple where an elderly man was clearing weeds. The man turned out to be the brother of someone Taro’s father had fought with decades ago. The conversation they shared repaired a family story Taro had been haunted by, and for the first time, he felt like the last thread of that past could be laid to rest.

Now after successful installation of software packages and SDK files for corresponding Microcontroller to be used, next step to do is Project creation.

Project creation can be further categorized into 3 parts:

  1. Making project from Demo Examples
  2. Opening already developed code.
  3. Making a project from scratch.

Let’s dive into each of these steps one by one:

  • Making project from Demo Examples

Just like in Arduino IDE environment we have basic Demo Examples already developed so that we can get hands on Microcontroller peripherals quickly, same way NXP Semiconductors, also provides demo examples in S32 Design Studio IDE for S32K144 Microcontroller to get hands on its peripherals easily and quickly. These Demo examples are downloaded once Software packages and SDK files of the S32K144 MCU are properly installed in IDE as told in previous step. To see this demo examples navigate to area of S32DS IDE as shown in below pic:

  1. Navigate to File–>New–>S32DS Project from Examples
    Yakuza Kiwami 2 Update V1 2-CODEX
    Creating S32DS Project Examples Part1
  2. After that a window will pop-up like this, and it will be loading all demo examples from internal SDK that we have installed in last step.
    Yakuza Kiwami 2 Update V1 2-CODEX
    Creating S32DS project from examples Part 2
  3. After successful loading, window will show Demo examples for all the SDK’s that you have downloaded, in below pic you can there are number of SDKs in my system, but in your case, you will see only S32K1xx SDK RTM v4.0.2 Example Projects highlighted SDK.

    Creating S32DS project from examples Part 3

  4. Now click on the SDK name: S32K1xx SDK RTM v4.0.2 Example Projects and we can see list of demo codes for all the MCU’s of S32K1 family: S32K116, S32K118, S32K142, S32K142W, S32K144, S32K144W, S32K146, S32K148, as shown below. Our ElecronicsV2 development board is made on S32K144 MCU, so we will be exploring demo examples of S32K144 MCU

    Creating S32DS project from examples Part 4

  5.  Now Demo Examples are also further divided into 2 categories: Driver Examples and Demo Apps. Driver Examples: demonstrate basic example to use each peripheral of the MCU. Demo Apps: demonstrate basic application codes like blink led, motor control example.

    Creating S32DS project from examples Part 5
  6. I will open the Demo Apps examples of blink led, to demonstrate the Demo Example project. This Project blinks the on board RGB LED which is attached at pin PD15 and PD16 of the S32K144 MCU using ElecronicsV2 Board.

  7. After opening the project our window will look like this:
    Yakuza Kiwami 2 Update V1 2-CODEX
    Creating S32DS project from examples Part 7
  8. Now as we open the project, we will see multiple windows as shown above, for us for initial understanding we will focus on only 2 windows. The one in left is Project Explorer: where we can see our Demo_App Project folder structure and all (.c,.h) files of our project. And in the center is the Code Editor, where you can see main.c. We can double click on any .c/.h file from the project explorer window and that file will open up in code editor. Now we can edit/modify/understand our project files directly from here.

    Creating S32DS project from examples Part 8
  9. This feature in S32DS makes it very easy and convenient for developers to understand and develop the software by navigating to different project files. This feature is not there in Arduino IDE environment and it’s very hard to understand the Demo example project files and code over their.
  10. One can explore different examples in the list of demo example at step 5 & 6 to get hands on with S32K144 MCU peripherals and features easily using ElecronicsV2 Board.

  • Making Project from Scratch

This is the step, in which we can make a Project in S32DS from scratch. From the scratch i mean without any 

  • Opening already developed code.

This step i guess would not be used by most of the beginners, but those who have some Project code of S32DS and wanna open it in S32DS 3.4. They can open it by below steps:

  1. Go to file–>Opening project from file system: 
    Yakuza Kiwami 2 Update V1 2-CODEX
    Opening already S32DS project Part 1
  2. After that the pop-up which comes up, in that click on directory:
    Yakuza Kiwami 2 Update V1 2-CODEX
    Opening already S32DS project Part 2
  3. Now navigate to the project folder that you wanna open, like i am goanna open the RFID Project here, which i have already developed and click on select folder:
    Yakuza Kiwami 2 Update V1 2-CODEX
    Opening already S32DS project Part 3
  4. Now you will see project folder, will be opened and select the project in the folder window. After that click on finish:
    Yakuza Kiwami 2 Update V1 2-CODEX
    Opening already S32DS project Part 4
  5. Now you will see your project will be opned in S32DS3.4. Project explorer showing all the project files and folder.
