Simulink Pixhawk Support Package System Requirements

What is the MINIMUM system requirement to generate code from Simulink and download to a Pixhwak in R2020b? Will I be able to just click a button in Simulink to generate and download codes? Do I have to have the UAV and/or embedded coder toolboxes? Mathwoks is very vague about this.

Answer 1

[Ankur Bose]

You need below mentioned minimum products to work with UAV Toolbox Support Package for PX4 Autopilots

• UAV Toolbox
• MATLAB
• Simulink
• MATLAB Coder
• Simulink Coder
• Embedded Coder

Recommended Products

• Stateflow
• Instrument Control Toolbox

[J Chen]

I don't see why the Matlab and Simulink coders are needed. I don't think they are required. I'm not sure about the Embedded coder. The Arduino Support Package doesn't require the Embedded coder. I also don't underatnd why UAV Toolbox is required.

I agree with Ankur Bose. You can install: Matlab, Simulnik and UAV Toolbox to start modeling. But if you want to generate a code for a device such as pixhawk 1 or Cube 2.1 then you will get a message that you need Simulink Coder and Matlab Coder. I also have an Embeded coder and generating the correct code on these six elements works nicely. Remember about the seventh element that you must have visible in the add-ons - "UAV Toolbox Support Package for PX4 autopilots" that will appear after finding and installing it from Add-On explorer.

Yes, this is also marked below at requires:
