Why code generation bridges model to embedded deployment in Simulink - Test Your Understanding

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to generate C code from a Simulink model.

Simulink

rtwbuild('[1]')

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Asim('myModel')

BmyModel

Cload_system('myModel')

Dsave_system('myModel')

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using simulation commands instead of code generation commands.

Passing the wrong argument type to rtwbuild.

The rtwbuild function generates C code from the specified Simulink model name.

Complete the code to set the system target file for embedded code generation.

Simulink

set_param('[1]', 'SystemTargetFile', '[2]')

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using the wrong target file for embedded deployment.

Not specifying the model name correctly.

To generate embedded C code, set the SystemTargetFile parameter to ert.tlc for the model.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to generate code and build the model.

Simulink

rtwbuild([1])

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

C"myModel"

DmyModel

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Passing the model name as a variable instead of a string.

Using double quotes which may cause issues in some contexts.

The model name must be passed as a string in single quotes to rtwbuild.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to configure the model for code generation and build it.

Simulink

set_param('[1]', 'GenerateCodeOnly', '[2]');
rtwbuild('[3]')

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'on' instead of 'off' for GenerateCodeOnly.

Using different model names in the two commands.

Set GenerateCodeOnly to off to generate code and build when calling rtwbuild.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a code generation report and open it after building.

Simulink

set_param('[1]', 'GenerateReport', '[2]');
rtwbuild('[1]');
rptview('[1]')

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Not enabling report generation before building.

Using the wrong command to open the report.

Enable report generation by setting GenerateReport to on, build the model, then open the generated report with rptview.
