Host interface

R2026b

Select host-side interface for XCP external mode communication

Since R2026b

Model Configuration Pane: Hardware Implementation / Hardware board settings / Target hardware resources / Groups / External mode

Description

Select whether Simulink^® or third-party calibration tools manage the host-side XCP external mode connection with Raspberry Pi^®.

When set to Simulink, Simulink manages the external mode connection and you configure the host-side CAN hardware using the CAN Vendor, CAN Device, and CAN Channel parameters.

When set to Third party calibration tools, an A2L file is generated during the build process, allowing you to use third-party calibration tools such as CANape^® or INCA to connect to the target and perform parameter tuning and signal monitoring.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter, set Communication interface to XCP on CAN.

Settings

Simulink (default) | Third party calibration tools

Select the host-side interface for XCP external mode communication.

Simulink (default): Simulink manages the external mode connection. When using XCP on CAN, additional parameters become available for configuring the host-side CAN hardware: CAN Vendor, CAN Device, and CAN Channel. A Vehicle Network Toolbox™ license and supported CAN hardware are required.
Third party calibration tools: Use third-party calibration tools to manage the XCP connection. An A2L file is generated during the build process, which describes the memory layout of tunable parameters and observable signals in the deployed model. You can load this A2L file into calibration tools such as CANape or INCA to connect to Raspberry Pi and perform parameter tuning and signal monitoring.
