Version 3.1 (R2007b) Link for Code Composer Studio™

This table summarizes what's new in V3.1 (R2007b):

New features and changes introduced in this version are described here.

• Support for CCS 3.3

• Support for Real-Time Workshop Target Function Library Replacement

• set and get Methods with Updated Syntax

• Refactored PIL Project Options in Model Configuration Parameters

• Function ccsdsp Returns ticcs Object

• Link and Target Products Regrouped in New Start, Help, and Demos Category

Support for CCS 3.3

This release supports only Code Composer Studio Version 3.3.

Compatibility Consideration

When you upgrade to this release of Link for Code Composer Studio, you must upgrade Code Composer Studio to version 3.3.

Support for Real-Time Workshop Target Function Library Replacement

If you are using ccslink_ert.tlc as your system target file, Link for CCS now supports generating code that is optimized for the processor by using compiler intrinsics and assembly code to replace certain mathematical operator functions. Link for CCS accomplishes this optimization through the Target Function Library (TFL) replacement mechanism that Real-Time Workshop provides.

TFL replacement requires Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder and the embedded real-time target—ccslink_ert.tlc.

For more general information about TFL, look for TFL in the Interface options in Configuring Real-Time Workshop^® Code Generation Parameters. For information about using TFL in Link for CCS, refer to Target Function Library and Embedded IDE Link™ CC.

set and get Methods with Updated Syntax

set and get now require both an object variable and property name input arguments to work. In earlier releases, you could use set and get with only the object variable name input to see a list of all of the properties for an object.

The following command syntaxes are no longer supported by set and get. In the examples, cc is a ticcs object created by ccsdsp:

• get(cc)

• value = get(cc)

• set(cc)

• set(cc,'propertyname1',propertyvalue1,'propertyname2',propertyvalue2,...)

• value = set(cc)

The following syntax options work as before:

• get(cc,'propertyname')

• value = get(cc,'propertyname')

• set(cc,'propertyname',propertyvalue)

Compatibility Consideration

The syntax changes to set and get affect scripts that use set and get to return lists of object properties. Set and get no longer return lists, only individual property values.

Refactored PIL Project Options in Model Configuration Parameters

The existing PIL block option—Configure model to build PIL algorithm object code—has been replaced by a new option Create_Processor_in_the_Loop_project on the Build action list and a new parameter called PIL block action.

To build the PIL block with the new options, select Create_Processor_in_the_Loop_project for the Build action, and then select an option from the PIL block action list. For more information about the new configuration parameters and using PIL blocks, refer to Using Processor-in-the-Loop.

Function ccsdsp Returns ticcs Object

In previous releases, the basic object constructor ccsdsp returned a ccsdsp object. ccsdsp now returns a ticcs object, an instance of the ticcs class. This represents a change to the name of the object, not the way the object behaves or the properties.

Link and Target Products Regrouped in New Start, Help, and Demos Category

A new product category, Links and Targets, now contains all MathWorks™ software products that link, target, or cosimulate code.

Compatibility Considerations

This change impacts you in the following ways:

• Finding and viewing these products through the MATLAB^® Desktop Start button and in the Help browser Contents and Demos panes.

• Using the demo command to access the product demos.

For more about this new product category, see Demos and Help Browser Contents Now Include New Category for Links and Targets, in the MATLAB Release Notes.
