loadDriver

Load driver instance into real-time kernel

Since R2023b

Syntax

driverObj = loadDriver(RT.Kernel,Name)

driverObj = loadDriver(RT.Kernel,Name,Address)

driverObj = loadDriver(RT.Kernel,Name,Address,Parameters)

Description

driverObj = loadDriver(RT.Kernel,Name) loads a driver with the specified name into the kernel. The driver uses the default address and uses the default parameters.

driverObj = loadDriver(RT.Kernel,Name,Address) loads a driver with the specified name into the kernel. The driver uses the specified address and the default parameters.

example

driverObj = loadDriver(RT.Kernel,Name,Address,Parameters) load a driver with the specified name into the kernel. The load operation uses the specified address and the specified parameters.

Find Driver Information and Load Driver

This example shows how to find driver information for a block in a model, then use the information to load the driver. To select and configure the board, select Block Parameters > Install new board dialog box for the Counter Input block

Open the model. Get driver information for a block in the model. Load the driver into the real-time kernel.

openExample('sldrtex_counter');
myBoard = get_param(['sldrtex_counter','/Counter Input'], 'DrvName');
loadDriver(RT.Kernel,myBoard)
