Real-Time Workshop User's Guide

Introduction

This chapter presents an introduction to the Real-Time Workshop Ada Coder. It compares and contrasts the Real-Time Workshop Ada Coder with the Real-Time Workshop, shows you how to use the product by presenting an example, and concludes with a discussion of code validation.

Note    The Real-Time Workshop Ada Coder is a separate product from the Real-Time Workshop.

Like the Real-Time Workshop, the Real-Time Workshop Ada Coder provides a real-time development environment that features:

• A rapid and direct path from system design to hardware implementation
• Seamless integration with MATLAB and Simulink
• A simple, easy-to-use interface
• An open and extensible architecture

The package includes application modules that allow you to build complete programs targeting a wide variety of environments. Program building is fully automated. Automatic program building provides a standard means to create programs for real-time applications. This chapter contains examples of automatic program building on DOS and UNIX platforms.

The Real-Time Workshop Ada Coder is an automatic Ada language code generator. It produces Ada83 or Ada95 code directly from Simulink models and automatically builds programs that can be run in real time in a variety of environments. The Real-Time Workshop Ada Coder is an extension of the Real-Time Workshop.

With the Real-Time Workshop Ada Coder, you can run your Simulink model in real time on a remote processor. You can run accelerated, stand-alone simulations on your host machine or on an external computer.
