Get Started with Real-Time Linux
R2026bThe Embedded Coder® Support Package for Real-Time Linux® takes you from simulation to on-target prototyping on embedded or virtual real-time Linux devices.
You can deploy and run real-time applications on real-time Linux devices directly from your Simulink model. You can create, control, and instrument real-time applications using the MATLAB® API or custom apps built with App Designer.
