Legacy Code Tool Examples

You can use the Simulink^® Legacy Code Tool to generate fully inlined C MEX S-functions for legacy or custom code. The S-functions are optimized for embedded components, such as device drivers and lookup tables, and they call existing C or C++ functions. These examples show how to use the Legacy Code Tool to integrate a variety of external functions.

Integrate External C Functions That Pass Input Arguments by Value Versus Address

Open Script

This example shows how to use the Legacy Code Tool to integrate legacy C functions that pass their input arguments by value versus address.

With the Legacy Code Tool, you can:

Provide the legacy function specification.
Generate a C-MEX S-function that calls the legacy code during simulation.
Compile and build the generated S-function for simulation.
Generate a TLC block file and optional rtwmakecfg.m file that specifies how the generated code for a model calls the legacy code.

Provide the Legacy Function Specification

Legacy Code Tool functions take a specific data structure or array of structures as the argument. You can initialize the data structure by calling the function legacy_code() using 'initialize' as the first input. After initializing the structure, assign its properties to values corresponding to the legacy code being integrated. The prototypes of the legacy functions being called in this example are:

FLT filterV1(const FLT signal, const FLT prevSignal, const FLT gain)
FLT filterV2(const FLT* signal, const FLT prevSignal, const FLT gain)

FLT is a typedef to float. The legacy source code is in the files: * ct_src/your_types.h * lct_src/myfilter.h * lct_src/filterV1.c * lct_src/filterV2.c

Note the difference in the OutputFcnSpec defined in the two structures; the first case specifies that the first input argument is passed by value, while the second case specifies pass by pointer.

defs = [];

% sfun_filterV1
def = legacy_code('initialize');
def.SFunctionName = 'sfun_filterV1';
def.OutputFcnSpec = 'single y1 = filterV1(single u1, single u2, single p1)';
def.HeaderFiles   = {'myfilter.h'};
def.SourceFiles   = {'filterV1.c'};
def.IncPaths      = {'Lct_src'};
def.SrcPaths      = {'Lct_src'};
defs = [defs; def];

% sfun_filterV2
def = legacy_code('initialize');
def.SFunctionName = 'sfun_filterV2';
def.OutputFcnSpec = 'single y1 = filterV2(single u1[1], single u2, single p1)';
def.HeaderFiles   = {'myfilter.h'};
def.SourceFiles   = {'filterV2.c'};
def.IncPaths      = {'Lct_src'};
def.SrcPaths      = {'Lct_src'};
defs = [defs; def];

Generate S-Functions for Simulation

To generate C-MEX S-functions according to the description provided by the input argument 'defs', call the function legacy_code() again with the first input set to 'sfcn_cmex_generate'. The S-functions call the legacy functions in simulation. The source code for the S-functions is in the files: * sfun_filterV1.c * sfun_filterV2.c

legacy_code('sfcn_cmex_generate', defs);

Compile the Generated S-Functions for Simulation

After you generate the C-MEX S-function source files, to compile the S-functions for simulation with Simulink®, call the function legacy_code() again with the first input set to 'compile'.

legacy_code('compile', defs);

Generate TLC Block Files for Code Generation

After you compile the S-functions and use them in simulation, you can call the function legacy_code() again with the first input set to 'sfcn_tlc_generate' to generate TLC block files. Block files specify how the generated code for a model calls the legacy code. If you do not generate TLC block files and you try to generate code for a model that includes the S-functions, code generation fails. The TLC block files for the S-functions are: * sfun_filterV1.tlc * sfun_filterV2.tlc

legacy_code('sfcn_tlc_generate', defs);

Generate an rtwmakecfg.m File for Code Generation

After you create the TLC block files, you can call the function legacy_code() again with the first input set to 'rtwmakecfg_generate' to generate an rtwmakecfg.m file to support code generation. If the required source and header files for the S-functions are not in the same folder as the S-functions, and you want to add these dependencies in the makefile produced during code generation, generate the rtwmakecfg.m file.

legacy_code('rtwmakecfg_generate', defs);

Generate Masked S-Function Blocks for Calling the Generated S-Functions

After you compile the C-MEX S-function source, you can call the function legacy_code() again with the first input set to 'slblock_generate' to generate masked S-function blocks that call the S-functions. The software places the blocks in a new model. From there you can copy them to an existing model.

legacy_code('slblock_generate', defs);

Generate a TLC Block File for Code Generation

After you compile the S-function and use it in simulation, you can call the function legacy_code() again. Set the first input to sfcn_tlc_generate to generate a TLC block file. The block file specifies how the generated code for a model calls the legacy code. If you do not generate a TLC block file and you try to generate code for a model that includes the S-function, code generation fails. The TLC block file for the S-function is sfun_gain_fixpt.tlc.

legacy_code('sfcn_tlc_generate', def);

Generate an rtwmakecfg.m File for Code Generation

After you create the TLC block file, you can call the function legacy_code() again. Set the first input to rtwmakecfg_generate to generate an rtwmakecfg.m file that supports code generation. If the required source and header files for the S-function are not in the same folder as the S-function, and you want to add these dependencies in the makefile produced during code generation, generate the rtwmakecfg.m file.

legacy_code('rtwmakecfg_generate', def);

Generate a Masked S-Function Block for Calling the Generated S-Function

After you compile the C-MEX S-function source, you can call the function legacy_code() again. Set the first input to slblock_generate to generate a masked S-function block that calls that S-function. The software places the block in a new model. You can copy the block to an existing model.

Compile and build the generated S-function for simulation.
Generate a TLC block file and optional rtwmakecfg.m file that specifies how the generated code for a model calls the legacy code.

Provide the Legacy Function Specification

Legacy Code Tool functions take a specific data structure or array of structures as the argument. You can initialize the data structure by calling the function legacy_code() using initialize as the first input. After initializing the structure, assign its properties to values corresponding to the legacy code being integrated. The prototypes of the legacy functions being called in this example are:

void mat_add(real_T *u1, real_T *u2, int32_T nbRows, int32_T nbCols, real_T *y1)
void mat_mult(real_T *u1, real_T *u2, int32_T nbRows1, int32_T nbCols1, int32_T nbCols2, real_T *y1)

real_T is a typedef to double, and int32_T is a typedef to a 32-bit integer. The legacy source code is in the mat_ops.h, and mat_ops.c.

defs = [];

% sfun_mat_add
def = legacy_code('initialize');
def.SFunctionName = 'sfun_mat_add';
def.OutputFcnSpec = ['void mat_add(double u1[][], double u2[][], ' ...
                   'int32 u3, int32 u4, double y1[size(u1,1)][size(u1,2)])'];
def.HeaderFiles   = {'mat_ops.h'};
def.SourceFiles   = {'mat_ops.c'};
def.IncPaths      = {'Lct_src'};
def.SrcPaths      = {'Lct_src'};
defs = [defs; def];

% sfun_mat_mult
def = legacy_code('initialize');
def.SFunctionName = 'sfun_mat_mult';
def.OutputFcnSpec =  ['void mat_mult(double u1[p1][p2], double u2[p2][p3], '...
                   'int32 p1, int32 p2, int32 p3, double y1[p1][p3])'];
def.HeaderFiles   = {'mat_ops.h'};
def.SourceFiles   = {'mat_ops.c'};
def.IncPaths      = {'Lct_src'};
def.SrcPaths      = {'Lct_src'};
defs = [defs; def];

Generate S-Functions for Simulation

To generate C-MEX S-functions according to the description provided by the input argument defs, call the function legacy_code() again with the first input set to sfcn_cmex_generate. The S-functions call the legacy functions during simulation. The source code for the S-function are in the files sfun_mat_add.c and sfun_mat_mult.c.

legacy_code('sfcn_cmex_generate', defs);

Compile the Generated S-Functions for Simulation

After you generate the C-MEX S-function source files, to compile the S-functions for simulation with Simulink®, call the function legacy_code() again with the first input set to compile.

legacy_code('compile', defs);

Generate TLC Block Files for Code Generation

After you compile the S-functions and use them in simulation, you can call the function legacy_code() again with the first input set to sfcn_tlc_generate to generate TLC block files. Block files specify how the generated code for a model calls the legacy code. If you do not generate TLC block files and you try to generate code for a model that includes the S-functions, code generation fails. The TLC block files for the S-functions are sfun_mat_add.tlc and sfun_mat_mult.tlc.

legacy_code('sfcn_tlc_generate', defs);

Generate an rtwmakecfg.m File for Code Generation

After you create the TLC block files, you can call the function legacy_code() again with the first input set to rtwmakecfg_generate to generate an rtwmakecfg.m file to support code generation. If the required source and header files for the S-functions are not in the same folder as the S-functions, and you want to add these dependencies in the makefile produced during code generation, generate the rtwmakecfg.m file.

legacy_code('rtwmakecfg_generate', defs);

Generate Masked S-Function Blocks for Calling the Generated S-Functions

After you compile the C-MEX S-function source, you can call the function legacy_code() again with the first input set to slblock_generate to generate masked S-function blocks that call the S-functions. The software places the blocks in a new model. From there you can copy them to an existing model

legacy_code('slblock_generate', defs);

Generate TLC Block Files for Code Generation

After you compile the S-functions and use them in simulation, you can call the function legacy_code() again. Set the first input to sfcn_tlc_generate to generate TLC block files. Block files specify how the generated code for a model calls the legacy code. If you do not generate TLC block files and you try to generate code for a model that includes the S-functions, code generation fails.

legacy_code('sfcn_tlc_generate', defs);

The generated TLC block files for the S-functions are sfun_dlut3D.tlc and sfun_dlut4D.tlc.

Generate an rtwmakecfg.m File for Code Generation

After you create the TLC block files, you can call the function legacy_code() again. Set the first input to rtwmakecfg_generate to generate an rtwmakecfg.m file to support code generation. If the required source and header files for the S-functions are not in the same folder as the S-functions, and you want to add these dependencies in the makefile produced during code generation, generate the rtwmakecfg.m file.

legacy_code('rtwmakecfg_generate', defs);

Generate Masked S-Function Blocks for Calling the Generated S-Functions

After you compile the C-MEX S-function source, you can call the function legacy_code() again. Set the first input to slblock_generate to generate masked S-function blocks that call the S-functions. The software places the blocks in a new model. You can copy the blocks to an existing model.

legacy_code('slblock_generate', defs);

Show the Generated Integration with Legacy Code

The model LctTableLookups shows integration of the model with the legacy code. The subsystem TestLut1 serves as a harness for the call to the legacy C function, and the Display blocks compare the output of the function with the output of the built-in Simulink® lookup blocks. The results are identical.

Integrate External C Functions with a Block Sample Time Specified, Inherited, and Parameterized

Open Script

This example shows how to use the Legacy Code Tool to integrate legacy C functions with the block's sample time specified, inherited and parameterized.

With the Legacy Code Tool, you can:

Provide the legacy function specification.
Generate a C-MEX S-function that calls the legacy code during simulation.
Compile and build the generated S-function for simulation.
Generate a TLC block file and optional rtwmakecfg.m file that specifies how the generated code for a model calls the legacy code.

Provide the Legacy Function Specification

FLT gainScalar(const FLT in, const FLT gain)

FLT is a typedef to float. The legacy source code is in the files your_types.h, gain.h, and gainScalar.c.

defs = [];

% sfun_st_inherited
def = legacy_code('initialize');
def.SFunctionName = 'sfun_st_inherited';
def.OutputFcnSpec = 'single y1 = gainScalar(single u1, single p1)';
def.HeaderFiles   = {'gain.h'};
def.SourceFiles   = {'gainScalar.c'};
def.IncPaths      = {'Lct_src'};
def.SrcPaths      = {'Lct_src'};
defs = [defs; def];

% sfun_st_fixed
def = legacy_code('initialize');
def.SFunctionName = 'sfun_st_fixed';
def.OutputFcnSpec = 'single y1 = gainScalar(single u1, single p1)';
def.HeaderFiles   = {'gain.h'};
def.SourceFiles   = {'gainScalar.c'};
def.IncPaths      = {'Lct_src'};
def.SrcPaths      = {'Lct_src'};
def.SampleTime    = [2 1];
defs = [defs; def];

% sfun_st_parameterized
def = legacy_code('initialize');
def.SFunctionName = 'sfun_st_parameterized';
def.OutputFcnSpec = 'single y1 = gainScalar(single u1, single p1)';
def.HeaderFiles   = {'gain.h'};
def.SourceFiles   = {'gainScalar.c'};
def.IncPaths      = {'Lct_src'};
def.SrcPaths      = {'Lct_src'};
def.SampleTime    = 'parameterized';
defs = [defs; def];

Generate S-Functions for Simulation

To generate C-MEX S-functions according to the description provided by the input argument defs, call the function legacy_code() again with the first input set to sfcn_cmex_generate. The S-functions call the legacy functions during simulation. The source code for the S-functions is in the files sfun_st_inherited.c, sfun_st_fixed.c and sfun_st_parameterized.c.

legacy_code('sfcn_cmex_generate', defs);

Compile the Generated S-Functions for Simulation

After you generate the C-MEX S-function source files, to compile the S-functions for simulation with Simulink®, call the function legacy_code() again with the first input set to compile.

legacy_code('compile', defs);
