Product Overview

When to Use MATLAB Coder

Use MATLAB^® Coder™ to:

• Generate readable, efficient, standalone C/C++ code from MATLAB code.

• Generate MEX functions from MATLAB code to:

  • Accelerate your MATLAB algorithms.

  • Verify generated C code within MATLAB.

• Integrate custom C/C++ code into MATLAB.

Code Generation for Embedded Software Applications

The Embedded Coder^® product extends the MATLAB Coder product with features that are important for embedded software development. Using the Embedded Coder add-on product, you can generate code that has the clarity and efficiency of professional handwritten code. For example, you can:

• Generate code that is compact and fast, which is essential for real-time simulators, on-target rapid prototyping boards, microprocessors used in mass production, and embedded systems.

• Customize the appearance of the generated code.

• Optimize the generated code for a specific target environment.

• Enable tracing options that help you to verify the generated code.

• Generate reusable, reentrant code.

Code Generation for Fixed-Point Algorithms

Using the Fixed-Point Designer™ product, you can generate:

• MEX functions to accelerate fixed-point algorithms.

• Fixed-point code that provides a bit-wise match to MEX function results.
