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.

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.

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)
ans = 

  Driver with properties:

     Parent: [1×1 RT.Kernel]
       Name: 'Standard_Devices/UDP_Protocol'
    Address: 16384
    IOSizes: [1×1 struct]

Input Arguments

The RT.Kernel argument specifies the real-time kernel object.

The Name argument specifies the driver name.

The Address argument specifies the driver address.

The Parameters argument provides a cell array of driver parameters and values.

Output Arguments
