Course Highlights
This hands-on, three-day course focuses on developing models in the Simulink® environment to deploy on embedded systems. The course is designed for Simulink users who intend to generate, validate, and deploy embedded code using Embedded Coder™.
Topics include:
- Generated code structure and execution
- Code generation options and optimizations
- Integrating generated code with external code
- Generating code for multirate systems
- Customizing generated code
- Customizing data
- Deploying code
Course Objectives
The aim of this course is to show the capabilities of Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder for development of production code that is optimized for speed, memory usage, and simplicity.
.
Course Benefits
Upon the completion of the course, the participants will be able to generate code for a particular development board, and deploy the code on target hardware with cross-development system.
