Embedded Systems Development

The MathWorks Consulting Services extends the potential of Model-Based Design by providing support for the design and implementation of embedded systems. This support includes the use of powerful code generation tools and an associated test environment.

Automatic code generation tools have the potential to cut development time, improve product quality, and reduce costs. The MathWorks Consultants can help you realize these benefits by providing services to improve your existing process or by undertaking part or all of an embedded software development project.

Our consultants can work with you to:

• Implement support for custom real-time hardware or operating systems
• Review an existing development process and make recommendations on the effective use of development tools, including automatic code generation and other related tools
• Develop customized test environments using hardware-in-the-loop simulation
• Integrate the automatic code generation tools with specific tools or methodologies
• Manage and implement an entire embedded systems development project

Our consultants work closely with developers of Real-Time Workshop, Stateflow Coder, and xPC Target. Code from Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder can be highly optimized and is suitable for use in a production embedded system.

When undertaking a project, however, we will recommend the best tools for the job. This means working, not only with MathWorks products, but also with any other best-in-class tools for all aspects of embedded systems development. To this end, we partner with suppliers of hardware, real-time operating systems, compilers, and data acquisition and calibration tools.

Real-Time Testing Environment

The MathWorks control-design tools are compatible with hardware and software from embedded systems vendors and leading rapid-prototyping partners. This broadens the applicability of the MathWorks control design solution to include real-time embedded processors, DSP boards, and real-time operating systems.

The MathWorks Consulting is familiar with a range of these products and can help you use them to prepare your designs for implementation. We can help you choose the right set of software and hardware components for your real-time environment. We can also provide appropriate planning and implementation support for xPC Target development. This support includes the selection of embedded components and I/O interfaces.

Our goal is to accelerate your embedded systems development by integrating advanced tools into a complete process that will help you achieve remarkable results.
