Embedded Coder

Support for Texas Instruments

Embedded Coder supports code generation and verification on Texas Instruments C2000^®, C5000^®, C6000^® and OMAP^® family of processors. The Code Composer Studio™ IDE is also supported during the code generation process through makefile based build automation.* With Embedded Coder, you can generate code from your Simulink models and implement it directly on supported processors, perform PIL tests, and gather execution performance data through the profiling feature. Evaluation boards listed below are also supported for full turnkey prototyping by providing libraries for on-chip and onboard peripherals and supporting code generation of real-time operating systems for select processor families.

*IDE automation and project generation supported on CCS 3.3 and earlier versions are not supported for CCS 4.0 and above. Only XMakefile based build automations and external mode through TCP/IP are supported. Read the Technical Solution to learn more about the details of CCS 4.x support.

Support for Other Processors and Custom Hardware Boards

Other processors along with boards and peripherals (on-chip and on-board) not listed above can be supported through consulting engagements offered by MathWorks Consulting Services.

Target-Specific Device Driver Blocks

The Core Support library for each supported DSP family—C280x, C281x, C2833x, C62x™, C64x™, and C67x™—provides blocks for I/O, communication, and access to peripherals on the DSP or the board, such as CPU Timer and Hardware Interrupt. Embedded Coder also gives you access to specialized blocks in the TI C28x™ IQMath Library, a collection of optimized mathematical library functions for porting floating-point algorithms into fixed-point code on C28x devices. The parameters for these blocks can be modified with Simulink dialog boxes. You can automatically generate prototype code for any of the supported boards, combining these blocks with standard blocks from Simulink, Simulink Fixed Point™, and Signal Processing Blockset™.

You can find more information about specific driver blocks in the product documentation (login required) for the C2000, C5000, and C6000 families of processors.

Third-Party Software Requirements

Starting with release R2009b, you can use the checkEnvSetup command at the MATLAB prompt to get complete information on all the third-party software required to work with your Texas Instruments hardware platform. You use this command as follows:

>> checkEnvSetup(‘ccs’,<board/processor name>)

The <board/processor> name is a string that can be either:

• The name of a processor as seen in the list of supported processors under the Processor drop-down menu in the Custom Board for TI CCS Target Preferences block from Embedded Coder
• A board name that corresponds exactly to the name of the Target Preferences block for a specific EVM/DSK board found in Embedded Coder

Screenshots of string options that appear in the Target Preferences block are shown below, followed by some code examples.

Code examples of the product requirements with the checkEnvSetup command:

• DM641 processor: >> checkEnvSetup(‘ccs’,’DM641’,’list’)
• C5510PG2_2: >> checkEnvSetup(‘ccs’,’C5510PG2_2’,’list’)
• F2812 eZdsp board: >> checkEnvSetup(‘ccs’,’F2812 eZdsp’,’list’)
• TCI 6482 DSK board: >> checkEnvSetup(‘ccs’,’TCI6482DSK’,’list’)
