Hello,
I am trying to call a C function form Matlab. The files are in different folders. How can I achieve that? I am using Matlab R2018b.
The C file is called main.c and its funtion to be called is int main(void). I tried something like this:
% callmain.m
function y = callmain() %#codegen
y = 0;
coder.cinclude('main.h');
y = coder.ceval('main');
end
With the following code I tried to specifiy the location of the files:
cfg = coder.config('lib');
cfg.CustomInclude = [fullfile(pwd,'Inc') ' ' fullfile(pwd,'Src')];
cfg.CustomSource = fullfile(pwd,'Src','main.c');
This line of code is supposed to generate the code:
codegen -config cfg callmain.m
The complete C code can be obtained from the following link:

I would appreciate your help!
Thanks

Make sure that you have "main.h" and "main.c" files present in the "CustomInclude" directory.
In your codebase I dont see those files inside pwd/Src or pwd/Inc folders.

Sorry while testing I changed the names of the files and forgot to change them back before uploading.
But unfortunetely that was not the problem, so the problem still exists.
Here are the new files:

Please help!
Thank you very much!
I think the problem is there in the way you are including the multiple paths in "cfg.CustomInclude". Please refer to the correct syntax from the below documentation :
https://www.mathworks.com/help/coder/ref/coder.codeconfig.html#d118e51419
Specifically you have to use "pathsep" command to seperate different paths. Make sure that you have included all the relevent directories.
Hope this will be helpful for you.
Are you able to resolve the issue ?

Unfortunetely not!
I have tried the following (also with the line commented out):
cfg = coder.config('lib');
% cfg = coder.config('lib','ecoder',false);
cfg.CustomInclude = [fullfile(pwd,'Inc') pathsep fullfile(pwd,'Src')];
cfg.CustomSource = fullfile(pwd,'Src','main.c');
codegen -config cfg callmain.m
But when I run this script I still get an error message.
Please help!
Can you please state the specific error that you are getting ?
From the error it is clear that it is not able to find the "stm32f4xx_hal.h" header file. You need to include all the directories of the required headerfiles properly. Something like below :
cfg.CustomInclude = [fullfile(pwd,'Inc') pathsep fullfile(pwd,'Src') pathsep fullfile(pwd,'Drivers','STM32F4xx_HAL_Driver','Inc') pathsep fullfile(pwd,'Drivers','CMSIS','Device','ST','STM32F4xx','Include') pathsep fullfile(pwd,'Drivers','CMSIS','Include')];

Unfortunetely this also results in an error.
Here's the message:
Help would be greatly appreciated!

As I don't have access to the '\LED\codegen\lib\callmain\examples', I am not able to resolve your issue.

Now try again. It should work now.

Try building 'mex' function, instead of calling c function from matlab.

I have tried your suggestion but I get the same error message.

When I am trying to build mex, I am getting an error like this: error: unknown type name 'TIM_HandleTypeDef'
Did you defined 'TIM_HandleTypeDef' anywhere?
Sebastian Linn
Sebastian Linn 2020-3-11
No, I have not defined it anywhere actively. I used CubeIDE to generate the code for the target device (microcontroller) with the necessary drivers installed. If I nedd to define it somewhere where do I have to define it?
Thank you!

'TIM_HandleTypeDef' is there in the third party library "stm32f4xx_hal.h". Did you build that library? If not build that library and after that try building 'mex'.
Sebastian Linn
Sebastian Linn 2020-3-12
No, I did not. How do I build that library? Do you mean creating code by specifying the output to lib?

Yoou can see the following documentation Link. You need to follow the steps over there to call external C function into MATLAB.
  • If you are calling a C Library function then you need to additionally generate the MEX function. You can find a detailed documentation over here.
