New features and changes introduced in this version are
Optimizations for 32-bit to 16-bit Data Type Conversions with Saturation for Blackfin Processors
Support for Texas Instruments' Code Composer Studio 3.3 with SR12
Demo: Project Generator Tutorial for IAR Embedded Workbench and TI MSP430 Platform
You can run the Embedded IDE Link™ product on a 32-bit x86 compatible workstation running Linux®. For more information, see the System Requirements for Embedded IDE Link at www.mathworks.com/products/ide-link/requirements.html.
If you use the Embedded IDE Link product on a Linux development workstation:
For the Eclipse™ and MULTI® IDEs, all of the main features in the Embedded IDE Link product are available .
For the Code Composer Studio™, TASKING®, and VisualDSP++® IDEs, you can create models and run all simulations in the Embedded IDE Link product. However, you cannot generate code or automate code generation.
You can now use the Embedded IDE Link product with the Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers package and GNU development tools. Works on development workstations running Linux, MontaVista® Linux 6, and Windows®. For more information, see the Embedded IDE Link User's Guide .
Note Ensure you have the correct versions of the Eclipse packages and GNU build tools before you use Embedded IDE Link software with the Eclipse IDE. Follow the instructions in the Getting Started topic. |
New demos for using Embedded IDE Link with the Eclipse IDE:
Getting Started — Automation Interface Tutorial
Getting Started — Project Generator Tutorial
Control Applications — Verifying the Fixed-Point Fuel Control System
Workflows — Getting Started with Application Development
You can configure Embedded IDE Link to automatically generate makefiles, and build applications using makefiles with the following toolchain and processor combinations:
| Toolchains | Processor Families/Target OSs | Development Platforms |
| Analog Devices™ VisualDSP++® | Blackfin™, SHARC™, and TigerSHARC™ | Windows |
| Green Hills® MULTI® | ARM®, Analog Devices™ Blackfin®, PowerPC®, and NEC® V850 | Linux, Windows |
| GNU development tools | Linux | Linux |
| GNU development tools | ARM | MontaVistaLinux |
| MinGW development tools | Windows | Windows |
| Texas Instruments™Code Composer Studio | Texas InstrumentsC2000™, C5500™, and C6000™ | Windows |
For more information, see Generating Makefiles in the Embedded IDE Link User's Guide.
This release provides a new Makefile Generator tutorial which you can use to learn about the makefile generator in Embedded IDE Link software.
Embedded IDE Link software now supports the Top-Model Processor-in-the-Loop (PIL) feature. Use top-model PIL if you want to:
Verify code generated for a top model (standalone code interface).
Load test vectors or stimulus inputs from the MATLAB workspace.
Switch the entire model between normal and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) or PIL simulation modes.
For more information, see Using the Top-Model PIL Approach in the Embedded IDE Link User's Guide.
Effective this release, Embedded IDE Link software provides ARM fixed-point intrinsics that the MontaVista Linux compiler uses to generate optimized fixed-point code for ARM processors.
Embedded IDE Link software now provides target function libraries that optimize 32-bit to 16-bit data type conversions with saturation for Blackfin Processors.
Embedded IDE Link software now supports Analog Devices VisualDSP++ version 5.0 with Update 6.
Use the new configuration utility, adivdspsetup, to install an EmbeddedEmbedded IDE Link plug-in in the appropriate folder for Analog Devices VisualDSP++. For more information, see Getting Started in the Embedded IDE Link User's Guide for Use with Analog Devices VisualDSP++.
Embedded IDE Link software now supports Texas Instruments' Code Composer Studio™ with Service Release 12 (SR12).
This release provides a new tutorial that demonstrates the Project Generator component of Embedded IDE Link. The tutorial uses a simple Simulink model to show you how to generate a working algorithmic project and execute it on the TI MSP430™ F2013™ processor. For more information, see the Project Generator Tutorial demo.
The Real-Time Workshop® product (RTW) has changed the way it performs stack analysis and control. For more information, see Improved Stack Analysis and Controlin the RTW release notes.
In Embedded IDE Link models, when you set the System target file parameter on the Real-Time Workshop pane to idelink_ert.tlc or idelink_grt.tlc, the software sets the Maximum stack size parameter on the Optimization pane to Inherit from target and makes it non-editable. In that case, the Maximum stack size parameter compares the value of (System stack size/2) with 200,000 bytes and uses the smaller of the two values.
If RTW estimates the stack size is large enough, it redefines global variables and buffers from model_output and model_step functions as local variables. This optimization typically increases execution speed, and might also increase the size of the generated code. If the generated code does not fit in the memory allocated for code, the linker generates an error message during the build process. You can avoid this error by performing either or both of the following steps:
Decrease the stack size for your model. Press Ctrl+E to open the Configuration Parameters dialog box for your model. Then select Real-Time Workshop > Embedded IDE Link and decrease the System stack size (MAUs) value.
Open the target preferences block in your model and, under the Section tab, assign the .text or program section to a placement that has more memory.
