Hi Julio,
As per my understanding, you’re looking to deploy a “ROS2” node on a Raspberry Pi using Simulink, and you want this node to be able to access the Raspberry Pi’s GPIOs and communication interfaces. It is possible and you can refer to the below attachments.
- Generate a Standalone “ROS2” Node from Simulink: https://www.mathworks.com/help/ros/ug/generate-a-standalone-ros2-node-from-simulink.html.
- Node Generation and Deployment: https://www.mathworks.com/help/ros/ros-node-generation-and-deployment.html.

- Deploying “ROS” Node on Raspberry Pi Video: https://www.mathworks.com/videos/deploying-ros-node-on-raspberry-pi-1587374778793.html.
- Stream Images from Raspberry Pi Using “ROS”: https://www.mathworks.com/help/supportpkg/raspberrypi/ref/stream-images-from-raspberry-pi-using-robot-operating-system-ros.html.
- Merging Blocks: As per your query about merging blocks of both toolboxes in a single model, Simulink does provide the functionality to merge signals using the Merge block. This might be useful in combining inputs from both toolboxes into a single output: https://www.mathworks.com/help/simulink/slref/merging-signals.
Please note that you need to have Simulink Coder installed on your system to generate code for a standalone “ROS2” node. Also, ensure that “OpenSSH” is installed on the target “ROS” device before deployment.
I hope this helps!
