Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder 5.4

Introduction to Real-Time Workshop® Embedded Coder™ Demo

Learn about automatic code generation for embedded systems requiring production code efficiency and quality. This demo is based on the Introduction to Real-Time Workshop® video.

 

Contents

Demo Overview

The video shows how to create an executable specification using the following MathWorks™ products:

• Simulink®
• Stateflow®
• Embedded MATLAB™ functionality

Apply designs for:

• On-target rapid-prototyping
• Embedded systems
  
• Mass production
  

Generate code in:

• C
• C++

Target hardware for:

• Microprocessors
• Microcontrollers
• Digital signal processors

Creating the Executable Specification

Here we have a top-level model representing an algorithm modeled in Simulink software. You can design your system using Simulink blocks, Stateflow charts, and Embedded MATLAB functions. You can execute your multidomain design and see the results of the simulation all from within the same environment.

See how we explore the model.

Configuring for Production Code

Once the design is complete, you can configure the Real-Time Workshop® Embedded Coder™ to generate production code. These code generation options and parameters are consolidated in Simulink® Model Explorer.

See how you configure for production code.

Configuring Code Generation Options

You can configure different options in the generated code including:

• Generate C or C++ code to target applications running on DSPs and microcontrollers
• Configure how comments are produced and include high-level system requirements for traceability purposes
  
• Add externally written or legacy code to the code generated from a model
• Configure how Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder generates code for floating- and fixed-point math
• Verify the generated code using software-in-the-loop and processor-in-the-loop testing
  

See how you configure options for production code.

Target Function Libraries

Target Function Libraries (TFL) generate processor-optimized code when ANSI/ISO C code is not efficient enough. You can use the built-in TFL or create your own.

See how you can use Target Function Libraries.

Generating and Viewing the Code

After you generate code, you will see the generated code report documenting the settings used. The generated files include a main C-file, a model C-file, and the associated header files and libraries. The generated model C-file is compact and streamlined. Notice how well the Simulink, Stateflow, and Embedded MATLAB code is integrated.

See how you can generate and view the code.
