Introduction to OpenSDA: 1 of 2
OpenSDA is an open-standard serial and debug adapter. It bridges serial and debug communications between a USB host and an
embedded target processor. OpenSDA software includes a flash-resident USB mass-storage device (MSD) bootloader and a
collection of OpenSDA Applications. S32K116 EVB comes with the MSD Flash Programmer OpenSDA Application preinstalled.
Follow these instructions to run the OpenSDA Bootloader and update or change the installed OpenSDA Application.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Follow the “Load an OpenSDA
Application” instructions to update the MSD Flash
Programmer on your S32K116 EVB to the latest
version.
