Fixed-Point Blockset

Targeting an Embedded Processor

This section describes issues that often arise when targeting a fixed-point design for use on an embedded processor. Rather than describe a specific microprocessor (micro) or digital signal processor (DSP), this section describes some general assumptions about integer sizes and operations available on embedded processors. These assumptions lead to design issues and design rules that may be useful for your specific fixed-point design.
