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 EclipseTM and MULTI® IDEs, all of the main features in the Embedded IDE Link product are available . · For the Code Composer StudioTM, 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. Support for Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers Package 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 Eclipse 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 4 Version 4. 1 (R2010a) Embedded IDE LinkTM Automatically Create and Use Makefiles You can configure Embedded IDE Link to automatically generate makefiles, and build applications using makefiles with the following toolchain and processor combinations: Toolchains Analog DevicesTM VisualDSP++® Green Hills® MULTI® Processor Families/Target OSs BlackfinTM, SHARCTM, and TigerSHARCTM ARM®, Analog DevicesTM Blackfin®, PowerPC®, and NEC® V850 Linux ARM Windows Texas Instruments C2000TM, C5500TM, and C6000TM Development Platforms Windows Linux, Windows GNU development tools GNU development tools MinGW development tools Texas InstrumentsTM Code Composer Studio Linux MontaVista Linux Windows Windows For more information, see "Generating Makefiles" in the Embedded IDE Link User's Guide. New Demo for Using Makefiles This release provides a new Makefile Generator tutorial which you can use to learn about the makefile generator in Embedded IDE Link software. Support for Top-Model Processor-in-the-Loop 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). 5 Embedded IDE LinkTM Release Notes · 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. Optimizations for Fixed-point Code on ARM Processors 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. Optimizations for 32-bit to 16-bit Data Type Conversions with Saturation for Blackfin 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. Support for Analog Devices VisualDSP++ 5. 0 with Update 6 Embedded IDE Link software now supports Analog Devices VisualDSP++ version 5. 0 with Update 6. New Configuration Utility for Analog Devices VisualDSP++ 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++. 6 Version 4. 1 (R2010a) Embedded IDE LinkTM Support for Texas Instruments' Code Composer Studio 3. 3 with SR12 Embedded IDE Link software now supports Texas Instruments' Code Composer StudioTM with Service Release 12 (SR12). Demo: Project Generator Tutorial for IAR Embedded Workbench and TI MSP430 Platform 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 MSP430TM F2013TM processor. For more information, see the Project Generator Tutorial demo. New and Updated Demos · Optimizing Embedded Code via Target Function Library · Getting Started with Application Development Changes to the Stack Size Parameter The Real-Time Workshop® product (RTW) has changed the way it performs stack analysis and control. For more information, see "Improved Stack Analysis and Control"in 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. Avoiding Linker Errors Related to Stack Size 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. [. . . ] A previous installation of the Embedded IDE Link product could cause a compatibility issue if the target preferences are not reset. To avoid problems, click Reset to Default in the Embedded IDE Link Target Preferences dialog box before setting up your installation. Note Resetting your target preferences overwrites any previously saved entries for the current MATLAB release. 12 Version 4. 0 (R2009b) Embedded IDE LinkTM Limitation: XDS100 Emulator Does Not Support RTDX The XDS100 emulator does not support RTDXTM. If you connect to TI's Piccolo Series of C2802x processors using XDS100 emulator you will be unable to use the Target Support PackageTM support for RTDX. [. . . ]
