Embedded Coder Fundamentals

Concepts for generating code for deployment in embedded systems

You can use Embedded Coder^® to generate production code from Simulink^® models for deployment in target execution environments. Learn about terms, definitions, and concepts that provide a consistent and common language for using Embedded Coder software.

If you are developing software for deployment to a target environment, see the workflow described in Deploy Generated Software. If you are customizing the code generation environment for modelers to use, see Customize Code Generation Environment.

Topics

Software Deployment Objectives and Deployment Types
Produce units of code from Simulink models for deployment in a target execution environment.
Target Environment Services
Get familiar with target platform and custom services that support execution of applications and components.
Code Interfaces and Code Interface Specification
Learn how generated application and component code interacts with target environment services and how to configure the interaction for code generation.
Data Communication Methods
Learn how target environment services coordinate data communication for tasks, including concurrent data access.
Code Interface Configurations
Create code interface templates that can be model-independent or shared amongst models.
Deploy Generated Software
Design and configure Simulink models from which you can generate code for deployment to a target environment.
Code Generation Goal Summary
Find information relevant to your project goals.
Customize Code Generation Environment
Customize code generation environment for a project or organization.
