Model Setup

You can create models for targeting the same way you create other Simulink^® models—by combining standard blocks and C-MEX S-functions.

You can use blocks from the following sources:

The Embedded Coder Support Packages.
The Embedded Targets library (embeddedtargetslib) in the Embedded Coder^® product.
Blocks from the System Toolboxes products
Custom blocks

Avoid using blocks that do not generate code, including the following blocks.

Block Name/Category	Library	Description
Scope	Simulink, DSP System Toolbox™ software	Provides oscilloscope view of your output. Do not use the Save data to workspace option on the Data history pane in the Scope Parameters dialog.
To Workspace	Simulink	Return data to your MATLAB^® workspace.
From Workspace	Simulink	Send data to your model from your MATLAB workspace.
Spectrum Scope	DSP System Toolbox	Compute and display the short-time FFT of a signal. It has internal buffering that can slow your process without adding value.
To File	Simulink	Send data to a file on your host machine.
From File	Simulink	Get data from a file on your host machine.
Triggered to Workspace	DSP System Toolbox	Send data to your MATLAB workspace.
Signal To Workspace	DSP System Toolbox	Send a signal to your MATLAB workspace.
Signal From Workspace	DSP System Toolbox	Get a signal from your MATLAB workspace.
Triggered Signal From Workspace	DSP System Toolbox	Get a signal from your MATLAB workspace.
To Wave device	DSP System Toolbox	Send data to a `.wav` device.
From Wave device	DSP System Toolbox	Get data from a `.wav` device.

To configure your Simulink model for your target hardware and toolchain:

In the Configuration Parameters dialog box, select Hardware Implementation, and then specify your Hardware board.
Specifying a Hardware board automatically sets many Code Generation parameters to values appropriate for the hardware.
On the Target Hardware Resources tab, review the other parameters.
(Optional) In the Configuration Parameters dialog box, select Code Generation, and then review and modify other code generation features for your model.
Click Apply, and save the changes to your model.
