How can I do PIL (Raspberry pi + Simulink)?

I have a project that is limited in time, and I want to perform Processor In the Loop (PIL) simulation with Raspberry Pi (RPI) and Simulink.

I have a RPI 4 model B 1GB RAM and MATLAB/Simulink R2020a, and my model is already built.

I want only my controller subsystem to run on RPI to insure that it runs in real time.

Myskills in MATLAB/Simulink are intermediate, so I need a simple tutorial explaining in steps how to do so. Also I couldn't find a helpful tutorial in the "Simulink support package for Raspberry Pi" documentation.

Any Help?

Hello Mustafa,

May I know did you got what you looking for, using raspberry pi4 as PIL?

Thank you

Hi Mustafa

I managed to get it working on raspi 3B+ with this file exchange entry:

https://ch.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/54172-raspberrypipil

This is unrelated to the Simulink support package and it uses a custom code generation target.

Hope this helps, even if a bit late :)

Actually scratch what I said in the previous post. In a recent release of Simulink and Embedded Coder you can search for the SIL PIL manager and directly use the dedicated taskbar app to perform SIL and PIL with a configured Raspberry!
