Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder 1.0

Introduction to the Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder

The Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder is an add-on product for use with the Real-Time Workshop. The Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder is designed for generation of highly optimized code for embedded systems.

The Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder replaces and enhances the Embedded Real-Time (ERT) target. It is 100% compatible with the ERT target.

In addition to supporting all previous functions of the ERT target, the Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder includes the following enhancements:

• Support for singletasking multirate models.
• The Create Simulink (S-Function) block option lets you build a noninlined C MEX S-function wrapper that calls the generated code in one automated step. The option also builds a model containing the generated S-Function block.
• The Generate HTML report option writes a Web-viewable code generation report that describes code modules and helps to identify code generation optimizations relevant to your program. The report is automatically opened into the MATLAB Help Browser.
• The Insert block descriptions in code option lets you insert text from the Description field of blocks in your model as comments in generated code.
• The Generate ASAP2 file code generation option lets you export an ASAP2 file containing information about your model during the code generation process. See Generating ASAP2 Files in the Real-Time Workshop online documentation for information.

See The Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder in the Real-Time Workshop User's Guide for full documentation of the Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder.

Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder Demos

We have provided a number of demos to help you become familiar with features of the Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder and to inspect generated code. To run the demos:

1. From the MATLAB Help menu, select Demos. The MATLAB Demo Window opens.

Alternatively, you can open the MATLAB Demo Window by typing the following command at the MATLAB prompt.
