Introduction
This chapter explains how to use the Embedded Real-Time (ERT)
target code generation options to configure models for production
code generation. The discussion also includes other options that are
not specific to the ERT target, but which affect ERT code generation.
Every model contains one or more named configuration sets that
specify model parameters such as solver options, code generation options,
and other choices. A model can contain multiple configuration sets,
but only one configuration set is active at any time. A configuration
set includes code generation options that affect Real-Time Workshop code
generation in general, and options that are specific to a given target,
such as the ERT target.
Configuration sets can be particularly useful in embedded systems
development. By defining multiple configuration sets in a model, you
can easily retarget code generation from that model. For example,
one configuration set might specify the default ERT target with external
mode support enabled for rapid prototyping, while another configuration
set might specify the ERT-based target for Visual C++ to
generate production code for deployment of the application. Activation
of either configuration set fully reconfigures the model for the appropriate
type of code generation.
Before you work with the ERT target options, you should become
familiar with
Configuration sets and how to view and edit them in
the Configuration Parameters dialog box. The Simulink User's Guide document
contains detailed information on these topics.
Real-Time Workshop code generation options and
the use of the System Target File Browser. The Real-Time Workshop documentation contains
detailed information on these topics.
For descriptions of the Embedded Real-Time (ERT) target code
generation options, see Configuration Parameters in the Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder reference
documentation.
