microcontrollers compatible with Matlab/Simulink

I want to make a 4 wheels robot able to navigate in an environment itself. The robot will learn by itself the environment plan. The perception of the robot is made by optical sensor In the begining I want to generate the C/C++ code with Simulink / Stateflow and find a microcontroller compatible to Matlab code interpretation. I want to buy a microcontroller that is not very expensive. best regards

You can choose any micro-controller of your choice, because Simulink coder (or RTW) generated code is not platform specific.

Code generated by Simulink coder (or RTW) is ANSI-C code which can be ported into any micro-controller with sufficient memory and execution speed.

You can specify hardware type (8,16,32 bit) while generating code in

Confign parameters> Hardware implementation> device type.

Follow the link below and look under the 'Embedded Coder' and 'Simulink Coder' rubrics.

It's hard to say what is cheap. You might need to check out this link.

Call them. Some of them offer free evaluation board for academic research.

Answer 4

[Walter Roberson]

Generating C code from MATLAB requires Simulink Coder or MATLAB Coder (newer product names; older names include Real-Time Workshop). Those are expensive software products, so unless you are planning to mass-produce your robot, seeking a "cheap" microcontroller is probably going to lead to more trouble than it is worth.

In any case, you have not told us what functions you need the microcomputer to do, or what interfaces it needs to have, or what kind of performance you need from it.
