Embedded IDE Link™ VS

Setting Real-Time Workshop^® Options for Analog Devices™ Processors

Before you generate code with the Real-Time Workshop^® software, set the fixed-step solver step size and specify an appropriate fixed-step solver if the model contains any continuous-time states. At this time, you should also select an appropriate sample rate for your system. Refer to the Real-Time Workshop^® User's Guide for additional information.

Note   Embedded IDE Link™ VS software does not support continuous states in Simulink® software models for code generation. In the Solver options in the Configuration Parameters dialog box, you must select discrete (no continuous states) as the Type, along with Fixed step.

To open the Configuration Parameters dialog box for your model, select Simulation > Configuration Parameters from the menu bar.

The following figure shows the Real-Time Workshop Select tree categories when you are using Embedded IDE Link VS software.

In the Select tree, the categories provide access to the options you use to control how Real-Time Workshop software builds and runs your model. The first categories under Real-Time Workshop in the tree apply to all Real-Time Workshop targets including the processor and always appear on the list.

The last category under Real-Time Workshop is specific to Embedded IDE Link VS system target files vdsplink_grt.tlc and vdsplink_ert.tlc and appears when you select either target file.

When you select your target file in Target Selection on the Real-Time Workshop pane, the options change in the tree.

For Embedded IDE Link VS software, the target file to select is vdsplink_grt.tlc. Selecting either the vdsplink_grt.tlc or vdsplink_ert.tlc adds options specific to Embedded IDE Link VS software to the Select tree. The vdsplink_grt.tlc file is appropriate for all projects. Select vdsplink_ert.tlc when you are developing projects or code for embedded processors (requires Real-Time Workshop^® Embedded Coder™ software) or you plan to use Processor-in-the-Loop features.

The following sections present each Real-Time Workshop options category and the options available in each.
