Create custom device driver block for Arduino

This submission includes a MATLAB® live script that illustrates the process of creating a custom device driver block using system object.

You are now following this Submission

The included MATLAB® live script will help you understand the process of creating a custom device driver block using system object for any of the Simulink supported targets. When deployed, the device driver block will provide access to external peripherals, sensors or actuators which are connected to the hardware by calling the custom C/C++ device driver code.
As an example, you will create a device driver block to interface Arduino Mega with an ePaper display through an SPI interface.
