Real-Time Deployment and Code Generation

Hardware-in-the-loop simulation workflow, host-to-target hardware interface, run-time parameters

The real-time deployment and code generation process shows you how to use Simulink® Real-Time™ to download and execute a real-time application that you generate from your Simscape™ model. You can also check for simulation overruns and change run-time parameters for your plant-based application on a real-time target using Simulink Real-Time.

Topics

  • Real-Time Code Generation and Deployment Process

    Follow the hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation workflow to deploy a Simscape model to your real-time target machine using Simulink Coder™ and Simulink Real-Time.

  • Basics of Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation

    Use hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation to check how your controller responds, in real time, to realistic virtual stimuli.

  • Simulink Real-Time Code Generation

    Follow the recommendations for minimum hardware and software specifications to deploy your Simscape model for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation using Simulink Real-Time.

  • Software and Hardware Configuration

    Before you simulate your Simscape model on your target hardware using Simulink Real-Time, follow the recommendations to configure your development and target computers for code generation and real-time simulation.

  • Signal and Parameter Visualization and Control

    Monitor and control signals and parameters when you simulate your Simscape model on a real-time target hardware using Simulink Real-Time.

  • Requirements for Using Alternative Platforms

    Follow the recommendations for minimum hardware, software, and compiler specifications to deploy your Simscape model for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation using a custom standalone application.

  • Embedded and Generic Real-Time Resources

    Simulink Coder and Embedded Coder® use system target files (STFs) to generate code for interfacing with specific real-time operating systems.
