Develop a Target

Create a target based on the ARM® Cortex®-R processors

A target deploys MATLAB® and Simulink® designs to embedded hardware. With targets, you can prototype, verify, and deploy your application by generating processor-specific code, integrating real-time operating systems and device drivers, and profiling execution on your embedded hardware.

The Embedded Coder® Support Package for ARM Cortex-R Processors helps you develop new Embedded Coder targets based on the ARM Cortex-R processor. This support package provides you with the following classes and functions to help develop your targets, collectively referred to as the Target Software-Development-Kit (SDK).

Before you start, see What Is a Target? and Prerequisites. When you are ready to start creating your own target, follow the steps in Implement a Target.

Functions

createTargetCreate an object for the target being developed
createHardwareCreate an object for the hardware that a target supports
deleteTargetDelete a target
loadTargetLoad a target
saveTargetSave a target
testTargetTest the features of the target using the supported hardware
