UDP Receive

Receive UDP data from remote host

Add-On Required: This feature requires the Embedded Coder Support Package for ARM Cortex-A Processors add-on.

  • UDP Receive block

Libraries:
Embedded Coder Support Package for ARM Cortex-A Processors

Description

The UDP Receive block receives UDP (User Datagram Protocol) data from a remote host. The block reads available UDP data from the socket buffer and outputs the data as a vector.

Use Embedded Coder® Support Package for ARM® Cortex-A® Processors to run a Simulink® model on an ARM Cortex-A9 (QEMU) emulator.

Ports

Output

expand all

UDP data received from remote host, returned as a numeric vector. Set the data type of this output by using the Data type for Message parameter.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | Boolean

Parameters

expand all

Specify the local IP port number of the application on the hardware board on which you want to receive UDP packets. The port number must be an integer from 1 to 65,535.

Note

On Linux®, to set the local IP port number below 1024, run MATLAB® with root privileges. For example, at the Linux command line, enter: 

sudo matlab

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: localPort

Specify the IP address from which the block accepts UDP packets. Entering a specific IP address blocks, UDP packets from other addresses. To accept packets from all IP addresses,use default value '0.0.0.0'.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: remoteURL

Specify the size of the buffer size in which you want to store the received UDP packets. Specify the receive buffer size to be large enough to avoid data loss caused by buffer overflows.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: recvBufferSize

Specify the maximum length of the output UDP data. This value must be greater than or equal to the data size of a UDP packet. The system truncates any data that exceeds this length.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: dims

Select the data type of the output UDP data. This data type must be the same as the data type of UDP message sent by the remote host.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: signalDataType

Select the Output variable-size signal if your model supports signals for varying length. In this case:

  • The output vector varies in length, depending on the amount of data in the UDP data received.

  • The block emits the data vector from a single unlabeled output.

Clear the Output variable-size signal if your model does not support signals of varying length. In this case:

  • The block emits a fixed-length output of the same length as the Maximum length for Message.

  • If the UDP packet contains less data than the fixed-length output, the difference contains invalid data.

  • The Data type for length parameter is enabled.

In both cases, the block truncates data that exceeds the Maximum length for Message.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: isVarSize

Specify the duration of wait time for a UDP packet at each sample before returning control to the scheduler.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: blockingTime

Specify how often the scheduler runs this block. Setting this parameter to a large value reduces the likelihood of dropped UDP messages.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: sampletime
