I want to interface a RaspberryPi with an ADC MCP3008 using Simulink, in particular using the new block "SPI Register Read" available in the latest Simulink version (without writing C code or Matlab code). In this block is required a Register Address where SPI has to read the value from the slave. I don't know how to find it because I'm not sure if it's a MCP3008 register or it's an address always used from RPi to communicate with all the slaves. Can anyone help me?

Hi Pietro, as far as I understand it, the MCP3008 has no registers in that sense, so you can't use the "register read"-block for this particular chip.
Instead, as Sharan proposed, I used the "master transfer"-block and took a few more nights to figure out the rest of the required logic. Since the "master transfer"-block gives you three output Bytes separately, but in one signal path, you have to dearrange the Bytes (via "selector"-blocks) and add the significant Bytes to get the desired 10-Bit value from the SPI Bus.
I hope this arrangement does the trick for you, too.

I got the data from MCP 3008 from this method. I have an issue with the sample rate. I can not achive maximum sample rate from this method. How I overcome this problem ?

SPI Register read/write blocks are meant for memory devices such as EEPROM.
So in your case, following the example,
http://www.mathworks.com/help/supportpkg/raspberrypiio/examples/analog-input-using-spi.html
try using "SPI Master Transfer" block with a constant block having value [1, bin2dec('10000000'), 0] as input. Here in the binary value '10000000', the first 4 bits '1000' represents single-ended voltage measurement at CH0 is requested (refer to the datasheet for more info). To read from CH1, then '1001' should be used. To retrieve the voltage value from the output, say 'data', you have to model the logic mentioned in the above doc (also mentioned below) using Simulink blocks.
highbits = bitand(data(2), bin2dec('11'));
voltage = double(bitor(bitshift(highbits, 8), data(3)));
voltage = (3.3/1024) * voltage;

Hai Sharan, can you please explain the use of a constant block having value [1, bin2dec('10000000'), 0] as input to SPI Master Transfer. You wrote about the first four numeric values to control bits; what about the other four? What does the value "1" and "0" corresponds to. Also, a better explanation to understand the following code would be a great help.
clear mcp3008
mcp3008 = spidev(rpi, 'CE0');
data = uint16(writeRead(mcp3008,[1, bin2dec('10000000'), 0]));
highbits = bitand(data(2), bin2dec('11'));
voltage = double(bitor(bitshift(highbits, 8), data(3)));
voltage = (3.3/1024) * voltage;

Hi, Im currently trying to read the data of an MCP3008 in the way described above. Though I can manage the readings from command line, I have no indication that the SPI Master Transfer is working in any way when running the model. Is there any Simulink example using this block? Did anyone recently manage to get readings from an MCP3008?
Kind regards

For me, placing a Data Type Conversion block of uint8 between the constant block of [1, bin2dec('10000000'), 0] and SPI Master Transfer block did the trick. Without the conversion block, an array of type double was fed to the SPI master block, which ended up outputing values very close to zero (about 1e-300).

Hi, After multiple trials to read data from MCP3008 using SPI read block, it finally works for the first analog input (CH0),
However, in order to read analog input from the other channels (CH1,..CH7), normally the SPI write block should be driven by a constant block, I want to know the source of this synthax "[1, bin2dec('10000000'), 0]" that Sharan Paramasivam Murugesan mentionned above, because when I tested this block it doesn't change the analog input.
