Application Interfaces

Set up application interfaces for interacting with target environment software

Applications are units of code, which the code generator produces from top models. Deploy applications for use in target execution environments. For the code generator to produce code that can interact with target environment services, you must make the code generator aware of interface requirements by using a combination of:

Model elements in your top model
Code mappings that associate the model elements with interfaces defined in the code interface configuration

Generated application code interacts with target environment services through these generated code interfaces:

Entry-point functions that target software, such as a scheduler, can call
Function calls to target software

Topics

Model Code Interfaces
Represent code interfaces in top models.
Periodic and Aperiodic Function Interfaces
Generate callable entry-point functions for the algorithm represented by a top model.
Startup, Reset, and Shutdown Function Interfaces
Generate callable entry-point functions for startup, reset, and shutdown processing represented by a model.
Data Interfaces
Generate C or C++ data interface code.
Message Communication Interfaces
Generate C/C++ code to use messages for communication.
Client-Server Communication Interfaces
Design model that uses client-server communication.
Device Driver I/O Interfaces
Design a model that reads input from or writes output to hardware devices.
