Model Configuration Parameters
Model configuration parameters control model behaviour, simulation, code optimizations, interfaces, code style, build options, and other aspects of the generated code. When you create a new model, it contains the default configuration set that specifies the default values for the model configuration parameters. You can view and update the configuration parameters by following these steps.
In the Simulink® Editor, press Ctrl+E or click Modeling > Model Settings to open Configuration Parameters dialog box.
In the Configuration Parameter dialog box, click Hardware Implementationto view the corresponding parameters.
Set the Hardware board parameter to
Infineon AURIX TC4x.Simulink automatically populates the parameter values under Hardware board settings to their default values. You can optionally adjust these parameters for your particular use case.
To apply the changes, click Apply.
