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.

The attached .zip file contains 3 folders:
1) Live Script: Provides step by step instructions & explains how to create a system object.
2) Model: This folder contains a Simulink model to test the created system object's functionality.
3) System Object: This folder contains the system object - 'ePaper' which can be used to test the example directly.
