xPC Target Embedded Option

Introduction

xPC Target Embedded Option™ enables applications generated with xPC Target™ to run on a target computer without being connected to a host computer. You can run your applications on a standalone target computer for data acquisition, calibration, testing, and small-batch production scenarios. You can distribute the applications royalty-free to any number of target computers.

xPC Target enables you to execute Simulink^® and Stateflow^®models on a target computer for rapid control prototyping, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation, and other real-time testing applications. It provides a library of I/O device drivers, a real-time kernel, and a host-target interface for real-time monitoring, parameter tuning, and data logging. You can program FPGA boards for xPC Target Turnkey systems using code generated by Simulink HDL Coder™.

With xPC Target, you design your model in Simulink, generate application code with Simulink Coder™ and download the application to a target computer running the xPC Target real-time kernel. The target computer then runs your application and communicates with your hardware under test in real time.

For complete real-time testing solutions, xPC Target Turnkey combines xPC Target with a high-performance real-time target machine configured to meet your computational and I/O requirements.

Key Features

• Standalone operation with xPC Target compatible systems, including xPC Target Turnkey systems, PC-compatible hardware, and single-board computers (SBCs)
• Automatic execution of the embedded application upon target computer startup
• Royalty-free deployment of applications generated by xPC Target

xPC Target Turnkey real-time testing solution. Once you connect to your hardware under test, you can run your Simulink and Stateflow models in real time and verify your designs.
