Add-On Required: This feature requires the Embedded Coder Support Package for AMD SoC Devices add-on.

  • UDP Receive block

Libraries:
Embedded Coder Support Package for AMD SoC Devices

Description

The UDP Receive block receives user datagram protocol (UDP) packets from an IP network port and saves them to its buffer. With each sample, the block output the contents of a single UDP packet as a data vector.

The UDP Receive block outputs the received UDP packets as an N-by-1 data vector. The Data type for Message and Maximum length for Message parameters set the vector data type and length, N, respectively.

This port is unnamed while Output variable-size signal is enabled.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | Boolean

This port outputs the length of the message vector signal on port Message.

This port is hidden while Output variable-size signal is enabled.

Data Types: single

Parameters

expand all

To edit block parameters interactively, use the Property Inspector. From the Simulink® Toolstrip, on the Simulation tab, in the Prepare gallery, select Property Inspector.

To set the block parameter value programmatically, use the set_param function.

To get the block parameter value programmatically, use the get_param function.

Enter the IP port number on your hardware board that receives UDP data packets.

Note

On Linux®, to set the IP port number below 1024, run MATLAB® with root privileges. For example, at the Linux command line, enter: 

sudo matlab

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: localURL

Enter the IP address from which to accept packets. Entering a specific IP address blocks UDP packets from other addresses. To accept packets from any IP address, enter '0.0.0.0'.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: remoteURL

Make the receive buffer large enough to avoid data loss caused by buffer overflows.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: recvBufferSize

Enter the maximum length, in vector elements, of the data output vector. Set this parameter to a value greater than or equal to the data size of a UDP packet. The system truncates data that exceeds this length.

If you disable Output variable-size signal, the block outputs a fixed-length output the same length as the Maximum length for Message.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: dims

Set the data type of the vector elements in the Message output. Match the data type with the data input used to create the UDP packets.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: signalDatatype

To support signals of varying length in your model, select this parameter. To support fixed-length signals, clear this parameter. When you clear this parameter, the block:

  • Emits a data vector of fixed-length, set by the Maximum length for Message, from the Message output.

  • Emits the length of the valid data from the Length output.

  • If the UDP packet contains less data than the fixed-length output, the difference contains invalid data.

In both cases, the block truncates data that exceeds Maximum length for Message.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: isVarSize

For each sample, wait this length of time for a UDP packet before returning control to the scheduler. This value defaults to inf, which indicates to wait indefinitely.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: blockingTime

Specify how often the scheduler runs this block. Enter a value greater than zero. In real-time operation, setting this option to a large value reduces the likelihood of dropped UDP messages.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: sampletime
