Infineon^® TriCore^® Optimized Code: Support for ISO/IEC 9899:1999 Math Library

A new target function library Infineon TriCore (ISO)uses the TASKING^® ISO/IEC 9899:1999 Math Library to implement floating-point mathematical function blocks (e.g. trigonometric functions, log functions). Using these target optimizations improves the performance of applications performing floating-point mathematical operations.

When using these target optimizations, the regular Real-Time Workshop^® implementation for many ANSI floating-point mathematical operations is replaced by the ISO equivalent. These functions behave identically to the regular Real-Time Workshop implementation and can be verified using processor-in-the-loop cosimulation.

The existing target function library for saturated arithmetic, Infineon TriCore, has been enhanced to implicitly include all ISO optimizations. You can use the new Infineon TriCore (ISO) target function library with ERT or GRT system target files. The target function library Infineon TriCore is only available for ERT system target files.

See C Language Extensions / Intrinsics.

New Supported TASKING^® Toolsets

New toolsets supported include:

Infineon^® C166^®
Infineon^® TriCore^®
ARM^®

See Supported Altium^® TASKING^® Toolsets

Limitation Removed

This release removes a limitation for Processor-in-the-Loop (PIL). Multidimensional signals are now supported at the PIL component boundary. See Limitations and Tips.

Embedded IDE Link™ TS Build Directory and Target Preferences

You must use a clean build directory and the latest values for the target preference fields when setting up your installation.

Compatibility Considerations

To avoid problems when upgrading from a previous version, use either a new build directory, or clean up your existing build directory that you use to build models with the Embedded IDE Link™ TS product.

A previous installation of the Embedded IDE Link TS product could cause a compatibility issue if the target preferences are not reset. To avoid problems, click Reset to Default in the Embedded IDE Link TS Target Preferences dialog box before setting up your installation.

Note Resetting your target preferences overwrites any previously saved entries for the current MATLAB^® release.

"What's This?" Context-Sensitive Help Available for Simulink^® Configuration Parameters Dialog

R2008a introduces "What's This?" context-sensitive help for parameters that appear in the Simulink^® Configuration Parameters dialog. This feature provides quick access to a detailed description of the parameters, saving you the time it would take to find the information in the Help browser.

To use the "What's This?" help, do the following:

Place your cursor over the label of a parameter.
Right-click. A What's This? context menu appears.
For example, the following figure shows the What's This? context menu appearing after a right-click on the Start time parameter in the Solver pane.
Click What's This? A context-sensitive help window appears showing a description of the parameter.
