xPC Target Embedded Option 4.2

Introduction

xPC Target provides a high-performance host-target environment that enables you to connect your Simulink® and Stateflow® models to physical systems and execute them in real time on low-cost PC-compatible hardware. xPC Target includes proven capabilities for rapid prototyping, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and application deployment in an open hardware architecture. With xPC Target, you design your models on a host PC, generate code with Real-Time Workshop® and Stateflow Coder™, and download the code to a target PC running the xPC Target real-time kernel. Using xPC Target Embedded Option, an extension to xPC Target (available separately), you can deploy real-time embedded systems on standalone target PC hardware for production, control, signal processing, data acquisition, calibration, and test applications.

Key Features

• Enables deployment of applications generated from Simulink and Stateflow models for standalone operation on any PC
• Supports any desktop PC, PC/104, CompactPCI, industrial PC, or single-board computer (SBC) as a real-time target system
