Simulink Support Package for Arduino Hardware

Run models on Arduino boards

Key Capabilities

• Automated build, deployment, and execution of models on Arduino hardware
• Library of Simulink blocks for Arduino peripherals (ADC, PWM, Serial, I2C, SPI), Capture data using Sensor blocks
• Communicate with hardware in simulation using Connected I/O mode
• Real-time parameter tuning and signal acquisition with External mode
• Availability of Simulink Coder™ Add-on lets you access the C code generated from Simulink and trace it back to the original model.
• Availability of Embedded Coder® Add-on lets you generate optimized code, use code replacement libraries, and perform software-in-the-loop (SiL) and processor-in-the-loop (PiL) verification.
