Do OPC-UA blocks in simulink work with code generation?

If I set up my simulink controller to communicate through OPC-UA blocks can I then code-generate the controller and the opc-ua blocks into one deployable code package?

The goal is to deploy a controller that can run on its own in a container and also handle the OPC-UA communication.

Not an expert here, but I found two new blocks as of R2024a here and here. Please confirm you a talking about those?

If yes, my viewpoint is they are not ready for code generation. My logic is that there is always a note about extended capabilities at the bottom of the page, see e.g. this Simulink block that says

Extended Capabilities

C/C++ Code Generation

Generate C and C++ code using Simulink® Coder™.

It is probably a good idea if you share your use case with MathWorks so an enhancement reqest can be created or you get linked to it. Technical Support is a good contact to submit enhancement ideas.

Thank you. Yes those look like the right type of block I would use.
