Code Generator for Matlab/Simulink ?

Post by HansWerner »

Will there be a code generator for Xmos devices for Matlab/Simulink ?

I have played with the idea.

If you build one, you might be able to sell it. It happened with the Blackfin I believe.
Someone made a Simulink library, that later became a product.

On the other-hand, Labview (National Instruments) also supported Blackfin for a while before they change to the Rio hardware (Freescale/PowerPC).

Would you prefer Simulink over LabView ?
You can run a MATLAB server in LabView as well. But all this is very far from open source.
Probably not the most confused programmer anymore on the XCORE forum.

I use Simulink to simulate communication systems.
I'm not able nor have the time to write a code generator.
We will get some bachelor students in the next month and I will maybe supervise them.
So I`m just thinking about themes, boards and software for the projects.

Have you noticed the change between MATLAB R2010 and earlier vs R2011 ?

(I hadn't)

The Target support package and the Embedded IDE Link toolboxes has changed to

It seems to be more generalized.
