Target Support Package 4.0

Introduction

Target Support Package™ lets you deploy code generated from MathWorks products for real-time execution on embedded microprocessors, microcontrollers, and DSPs. Using Target Support Package, you can integrate peripheral devices and real-time operating systems with algorithms created using Simulink® models, Stateflow® charts, and the Embedded MATLAB™ language subset without writing low-level drivers and run-time code. The resulting executable can be deployed onto embedded hardware for on-target rapid prototyping, real-time performance analysis, and field production.

Key Features

• Support for generating executables that include algorithm, device-driver, and scheduler code
• Target-specific code and blocks for analog I/O, digital I/O, pulse-width modulation, waveform measurement, serial communication, CAN, and other peripherals
• Multitasking scheduling using synchronous and asynchronous tasks, task preemption, and temporary task overruns
• Interactive parameter tuning and monitoring of real-time applications using Simulink external mode
• Specialized block libraries for Ethernet host and target communication
• Optimized assembly code and blocks for Texas Instruments™ signal processing, IQMath, and Digital Motor Control libraries
• Support for the following processor families: Texas Instruments C2000™ and C6000™, Analog Devices™ Blackfin®, Freescale™ MPC5xx, Infineon® C166®, and STMicroelectronics® ST10

 

Combining Simulink, Real-Time Workshop, Embedded IDE Link, and Target Support Package to provide an integrated environment for designing, simulating, implementing, and verifying embedded systems using processors from different vendors.
