Deploying Real-Time Applications

The xPC Target Embedded Option is an extension to xPC Target that enables you to deploy and run your system on cost-effective PC hardware. This option includes two modes of operation: DOS-loader and stand-alone. The DOS-loader mode enables you to configure the xPC Target kernel to run automatically each time your development target is reset. The kernel is then ready to receive a real-time application from the host computer. The kernel can use any boot device, including hard drive or flash disk.

The stand-alone mode enables you to create and deploy an embedded application by configuring a boot device for your target PC(s) to automatically load and execute your real-time application without a connection to a host computer or operator intervention. In this configuration, your real-time application can be installed on a hard drive or flash disk. You can control the real-time application with the command-line interface using a keyboard on the target PC.

You can also control the target application using custom GUIs or the Web browser interface when deploying the application with the xPC Target Embedded Option. GUIs developed with the xPC Target API and the COM API can be deployed on any host Windows system without the need for MATLAB.
