Target Support Package 4.0

Working with Target Support Package

Target Support Package is part of a complete design flow for prototyping and implementing a wide variety of embedded applications. You construct system models and real-time algorithms using Simulink blocks and add-on blockset libraries. The model can be developed with fixed- or floating-point data. With Target Support Package, you insert blocks for optimized functions and board peripherals based on your embedded hardware. You can then use Target Support Package along with Real-Time Workshop®, Embedded IDE Link™, and third-party development tools to automate the process of generating algorithm code and compiling, linking, downloading, and executing it on your hardware board.

Third-Party Tool Integration

Target Support Package is tightly integrated with third-party tools through Embedded IDE Link. As a result, it is easy to automatically build, download, and run your applications on hardware and to launch the debugger for debugging and verifying prototyping or production code.

Hardware Configuration

Target Support Package includes graphical user interfaces that simplify hardware configuration. You can control target environment parameters and build options in Simulink. On supported boards, you can access I/O, peripherals, and other utilities via Simulink dialog boxes. This access streamlines the analysis and enables transitions between simulation and real-time deployment.
