How to upgrade A2L file version in MATLAB2017b embedded coder?

Hi,

The latest ASAP2 (A2L file) version is 1.7 and above, which is required for my selected hardware and application. But embedded coder generates ASAP2 version 1.31 format. Is there any way to upgrade the ASAP2 version in MATLAB2017b?

If not possible kindly provide alternatives.

Thanks.

Hi Darshna

I understand that you want to generate A2L file version 1.7 in MATLAB R2017b. The following functionalities can be used to specify the required version:

1. Using the “coder.asap2.export” function:

a. The version can be specified through the following code

coder.asap2.export('modelName', Version='1.71')

b. Please refer to the following MathWorks documentation link for more information on “coder.asap2.export”:

2. Using the “Embedded Coder App”:

a. Open the Embedded Coder App and build the model.

b. Go to Share -> Generate Calibration Files and specify the version of A2L files as 1.71.

c. Please refer to the following MathWorks documentation link for more information on the above-mentioned steps:​​​​​​​

I would suggest you update to R2021a as the above-mentioned functionalities are available from R2021a onwards.

Thanks!
