Real-Time Workshop® Embedded Coder™

Introduction to the Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder Product

The Real-Time Workshop^® Embedded Coder™ product extends the Real-Time Workshop^® product with features that are important for embedded software development. Using the Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder add-on product, you gain access to all aspects of Real-Time Workshop technology and can generate code that has the clarity and efficiency of professional handwritten code. For example, you can

• Generate code that is compact and fast, which is essential for real-time simulators, on-target rapid prototyping boards, microprocessors used in mass production, and embedded systems

• Customize the appearance of the generated code

• Optimize the generated code for a specific target environment

• Integrate existing (legacy) applications, functions, and data

• Enable tracing, reporting, and testing options that facilitate code verification activities

For detailed information on how the Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder product fits into the complete Real-Time Workshop technology picture, see Introduction to Real-Time Workshop Technology in the Real-Time Workshop documentation. That topic positions the Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder in terms of what you can accomplish with it, how it can fit into your development process, how you might apply it to the V-model for system development, and how you might apply it to relevant use cases.

Because Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder extends Real-Time Workshop for code generation, to use the Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder product effectively, you should be familiar with the following information in the Real-Time Workshop documentation:

• Real-Time Workshop Getting Started Guide
