Target Support Package Software Runs on Linux

You can now use Target Support Package™ software on host development systems running Linux^® on 32-bit x86 compatible architectures. For more information, see the System Requirements for Target Support Package at www.mathworks.com/products/target-package/requirements.html.

Compatibility Considerations

The UDP Send and UDP Receive blocks from R2009b and earlier do not work on Linux. Replace them with the new UDP Send and UDP Receive blocks in release R2010a. For more information, see: New UDP Send and UDP Receive Blocks.

Build Executables to Run on Windows, Linux, and Embedded Linux

You can build executables that run on Intel^® x86 and Athlon/K5/K6 processors running Windows^® and Linux. For example, you can build executables and run them on your host development system, or you can run them on a target with the appropriate hardware and operating system.

This enhancement supports:

• External Mode feature, which lets you adjust parameters in the executable code in real time without recompiling. Supports

• MAT-file logging, which lets you log results without using the debugger.

For more information, see Supported Operating Systems

Support for ARM Processors Running Embedded Linux

Using MontaVista™ Linux Pro tools and Eclipse™ IDE, you can build executables that run on ARM^® target processors running Embedded Linux. For example, you can build executables for the Texas Instruments™ TMS320DM355 DVEVM,

For more information, see Supported Operating Systems and Additional Configuration Steps to Run Your Executable on a Remote Linux Target

Support for Texas Instruments C64x+ Single and Multicore Processors

Use the new C64x+ Target Preferences block in your models to generate executables for Texas Instruments C64x+ single-core or multicore processors. The C64x+ Target Preferences block gets detailed hardware information for any C64x+ processor directly from DSP/BIOS. For more information, see Generating Code for Any C64x+ Processor or Board in the Target Support Package User's Guide for Use with Texas Instruments C6000™.

eCAN Transmit and eCAN Receive Blocks Accept CAN_Message Datatype

The eCAN Transmit and eCAN Receive blocks support the CAN_Message data type. These blocks now work with the CAN Pack and CAN Unpack blocks (canmsglib) from the Vehicle Network Toolbox™ software. For more information, see the following topics in the Target Support Package User's Guide for Use with Texas Instruments C2000™:

• "C280x/C2803x/C28x3x eCAN Receive"

• "C280x/C2803x/C28x3x eCAN Transmit"

• "CAN Pack"

• "CAN_Unpack"

Support for Texas Instruments Piccolo Series of C2803x Processors

This release introduces a new block library, the C2803x library (c2803xlib), for the Texas Instruments Piccolo™ Series. This library includes the following blocks:

• C2802x/C2803x ADC

• C2802x/C2803x AnalogIO Input

• C2802x/C2803x AnalogIO Output

• C2802x/C2803x COMP

• C280x/C2803x/C28x3x ePWM

• C280x/C2802x/C2803x/C28x3x eCAP

• C280x/C2802x/C2803x/C28x3x GPIO Digital Input

• C280x/C2802x/C2803x/C28x3x GPIO Digital Output

• C280x/C2802x/C2803x/C28x3x I2C Receive

• C280x/C2802x/C2803x/C28x3x I2C Transmit

• C280x/C2802x/C2803x/C28x3x SCI Receive

• C280x/C2802x/C2803x/C28x3x SCI Transmit

• C280x/C2802x/C2803x/C28x3x Software Interrupt Trigger

• C280x/C2802x/C2803x/C28x3x SPI Receive

• C280x/C2802x/C2803x/C28x3x SPI Transmit

• C280x/C2803x/C28x3x eCAN Receive

• C280x/C2803x/C28x3x eCAN Transmit

• C280x/C2803x/C28x3x eQEP

• C28x Watchdog

• CAN Calibration Protocol

• Piccolo C28035 Target Preferences

Support for Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (IPP)

You can now use the Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (IPP) library of optimized software functions with the following blocks:

• 2–D FIR Filter in the vipstatistics library

• 2–D Convolution in the vipstatistics library

• 2–D Correlation in the vipfilter library

You access this feature using the Target function library option for your model under Configuration Parameters > Real-Time Workshop > Interface.

Custom Clock Generation for TI C2000 Processor

A new feature allows you to adjust the CPU clock frequency for some Texas Instruments C2000 processors. This feature uses the new Peripherals > PLL pane in C2000 Target Preferences blocks. For example, you could change the PLL settings if the external oscillator frequency differed from the value recommended by the manufacturer. For more information, see Peripherals Pane in the Target Support Package User's Guide.

New Custom Audio Device Driver Integration Demo

This demo shows how to use the Target Block Builder to integrate custom device driver code with the algorithmic code generated by Real-Time Workshop® software. For more information, see the Custom Device Driver Integration via Target Block Builder Tool demo.

Extended the Parametric Audio Equalizer Demo

This release provides an extended Parametric Audio Equalizer demo, which shows how to use the C64x+ Target Preferences block and processors running Linux and Windows. For more information, see the Parametric Audio Equalizer demo.

New UDP Send and UDP Receive Blocks

New UDP Send and UDP Receive blocks are available in the for use on host and target models, including target processors running Windows and Linux. For more information, see the UDP Receive and UDP Send topics.

Compatibility Considerations

• Replace old UDP Send and UDP Receive blocks in your models with these new ones.

• A future version of Target Support Package will generate warnings if your models contain the old UDP Send and UDP Receive blocks (from release R2009b and earlier).

• A future version of Target Support Package will remove the old UDP Send and UDP Receive blocks (from release R2009b and earlier). When that happens, models that contain those blocks will generate errors.

• The hostcommlib UDP Send and UDP Receive blocks from before release R2010a do not work on Linux.

Note   You can leave the old C6000 UDP Send and C6000 UDP Receive blocks from the Target Communications library (targetcommlib) in your target models. The new UDP Send and UDP receive blocks do not affect the C6000 blocks.

Limitations

Profiling is not available for Intel x86/Pentium and AMD K5/K6/Athlon processors running Windows or Linux

If you use Embedded IDE Link™ with Eclipse to build and run applications on processors running Windows or Linux: The stack profiling and real-time execution profiling is only available for ARM® processors running Linux. Profiling is not available for Intel x86/Pentium and AMD^® K5/K6/Athlon processors running Windows or Linux.
