xPC Target Driver Authoring Tool
xPC Target Driver Authoring Tool helps you create templates
for simple custom device drivers. A simple custom device driver is
one that does not perform DMA or interrupt processing. The xPC Target Driver
Authoring Tool is not useful for these more complicated applications.
Based on the inputs you provide to xPC Target Driver Authoring
Tool, it can create a number of files, including the following. Of
these files, you need to edit only the source C code file. You can
also optionally edit the block mask file.
| File | Description |
|---|
| driver_name.c | Template for the source C code for driver. You need to
enter your C code. |
| driver_name.h | Header file for driver. |
| sfcn_driver_name.c | S-function file for driver. This file contains S-function
callback methods and options for the driver. |
| sfcn_driver_name.tlc | Optional. Real-Time Workshop TLC code generation file.
You typically need a .tlc file only if you want
to inline your custom driver. See Inlining xPC Target Drivers for further information. The xPC Target Driver
Authoring Tool creates this file for you whether or not you want to
inline the driver. |
| driver_block_name.mdl | Optional. Block mask model file for driver. After the xPC Target Driver
Authoring Tool creates the supporting files, it creates the block
mask for the driver and displays it in the Simulink model window.
The tool creates this file only if you select the MEX C
file check box. |
| sfcn_driver_name.mexw32 | Optional. If you requested the creation of a C MEX file,
the tool generates one for you. |
