Integrating C Code with Simulink

Day 1 of 1

Code Integration Methods

Objective:Become familiar with the various code integration methods and discuss how a Simulink model interacts with user-defined blocks.

• Overview of all methods of code integration
• Introduction to S-functions

Transitioning from MATLAB to Simulink

Objective:Integrate MATLAB code into Simulink models.

• Writing a MATLAB function in a MATLAB Function block
• Converting a MATLAB function to a MATLAB Function block
• MATLAB Function block coding standards

Calling External Routines

Objective:Integrate C code into a Simulink model using automated tools.

• Calling an external C routine with the Legacy Code Tool
• Calling an external C routine in a MATLAB Function block

Writing Wrapper S-Functions

Objective:Integrate C code into a Simulink model by manually writing C MEX S-functions.

• Writing a C MEX S-function
• Calling external code from a C MEX S-function
• Work vectors
• Inheriting input and output port dimensions
• Additional macros

Code Generation Considerations

Objective:Explore the procedures and limitations for automatically generating code with Simulink Coder™.

• 从MATLAB函数生成的代码块
• Generating code from C MEX S-functions (Legacy Code Tool)

Code Integration Methods Review

Objective:Review code integration methods and discuss the pros and cons of each.

• Review of all methods of code integration
• How to choose a code integration method
