A target deploys MATLAB® and Simulink® designs to embedded hardware. With targets, you can prototype, verify, and deploy your application by generating processor-specific code, integrating real-time operating systems and device drivers, and profiling execution on your embedded hardware.
The Embedded Coder® Support Package for ARM Cortex-M Processors helps you develop new Embedded Coder targets based on the ARM Cortex-M processor. This support package provides you with the following classes and functions to help develop your targets, collectively referred to as the Target Software-Development-Kit (SDK).
Before you start, see What Is a Target? and Prerequisites. When you are ready to start creating your own target, follow the steps in Implement a Target.
createTarget | Create an object for the target being developed |
createHardware | Create an object for the hardware that a target supports |
deleteTarget | Delete a target |
loadTarget | Load a target |
saveTarget | Save a target |
testTarget | Test the features of the target using the supported hardware |
