I have created a simple Simulink library because I am learning about masks. The library is saved into Documents folder, which is in path of MATLAB. To test my library, I've created a model and I've inserted my block from my library. When I want to change the value of a parameter in the mask I receive this error screenshot of message
Is there any configuration to do?
Thank you so much

I recently obtained a license to use Embedded Coder with an existing Simulink model that we have developed. In attempting to generate C code for the first time from the model, I am working through several errors. At first, we had no code generation templates (.cgt) files defined in the model parameters. After some hunting, I found the default template that comes with MATLAB (matlabroot/toolbox/rtw/targets/ecoder/ert_code_template.cgt).
The latest is that I get errors on nearly every token in this default code generation template.
Since I'm just trying to get something to build, at first I commented out the offending lines (things like RTWFileVersion, etc), but now I am noticing that it's giving me errors for things that are mandatory (ie. Types). Types is one of several required items that must be in the .cgt file, so what's wrong that causes MATLAB to not recognize these tokens? I'm guessing something may be messed up with my installation, such as a path.
Other details:
Simulink R2013A x32
Target is a Freescale device
Thanks to Matthias W for getting me to check other configuration options. Turns out I had selected a .tlc file that was probably incompatible with Embedded Coder.
In Code Generation for "System target file" I have selected the ert.tlc file and now I am able to build the parts of my model I'm interested in.
I know that it is possible to create S-function from C code that I provide.
But is it possible to create one S-function from C Code, which is generated from a Simulink Model for dSPACE ECUs, with low effort. The reason is, I am trying to test the dspace code with matlab/simulink.
Furthermore I'm aksing because the generated code from this simulink model consists multiple .c and .h files and I don't know how to integrate these files in one s-function block.
There are several methods of doing this. I suggest using the Legacy Code Tool as its structure helps to guide you through the process. You could also explore calling the function(s) from Stateflow or a Matlab Function block depending on the application.
With respect to multiple c/h files. I assume they will all need to be visible to Matlab through pointing to the source paths, but you should be able to identify the 'entry' function that you're interested in and utilize that in your model.
I am trying to use the Communications Toolbox in Matlab. In this toolbox there are a number of built in Systems Objects for example
1) comm.PSKModulator
I want to examine the .m file and see how these system objects are implemented. So I wrote down the command
open comm.PSMModulator
However, that doesnt help. Does anyone know why it doesn't work or maybe one cant access such code?
Update
When I write down which comm.PSKModulator I receive the following
/Applications/MATLAB_R2014a.app/toolbox/comm/comm/+comm/PSKModulator.p % comm.PSKModulator constructor
and where I write open comm.PSKModulator I get
Error using open (line 146)
File associated with
'/Applications/MATLAB_R2014a.app/toolbox/comm/comm/+comm/PSKModulator.p' not found.
Thanks
Some System objects may be implemented in C++ and does not have much to show in MATLAB code which might be the reason this is p-coded. You need to check the corresponding Simulink block documentation for description of the algorithm used. You can find documentation for M-PSK Modulator Baseband at http://www.mathworks.com/help/comm/ref/mpskmodulatorbaseband.html which has more description about the algorithm implemented.
I have been trying to find out how to deploy a Simulink model. There are possibilities and problems as well.
If I use Simulink Coder how can I find the generated code on my computer? Where is it saved as a file or package of files?
Can we deploy Simulink as .NET Assembly? If we can, where can I find a detailed documentation about it.
Is there any other way to use my Simulink model standalone?
Thank you for any effort.
By default all the code gets placed into a folder, in the current directory, called ModelName_CodeTarget, where ModelName is the name of your model and CodeTarget is the particular type of code you are generating. (This folder is created during the build process if it doesn't already exist.)
There is no mechanism for automatically generating a .Net assembly. Simulink Coder generates C code; what you do with it is then up to you (just as it would be with hand written code). Note that the process is fully customizable, so you could create your own build process to autmatically wrap the C code into an assembly (but it would be a very advanced maneuvre to do this).
There are a couple of Simulink Coder "targets" that generate standalone executable files. For instance, the GRT (Generic Real-Time) target generates a simple .exe file; the RSIM target (the Rapid Simulation Target) generates an exe where you can specify different .mat files that can be used to specify different model parameters for different simulation runs, and have the results of the different runs stored to different output .mat files.
Most of these questions are answered by looking at the early chapters of the Simulink Coder documentation.
It would be worth you taking some time to look at it to get a feel for how the code generation process works.
I am using Matlab 2012a and the Simulink Coder (aka Real-Time Workshop). I want to compile the model using Simulink Coder but preserve the functionality of model callbacks.
Consider the following simple example. I have a Simulink model, callBackTest, which reads in a constant and outputs to a since. input1 is defined in myValues.m and loaded into the model workspace using the PreLoadFcn model callback. The PreLoadFcn callback is executed when the model is first opened. By using the PreLoadFcn callback, input1 will automatically be defined every time the model is opened.
Suppose myValues.m is originally coded as input1=1. When you run the simulation, yout will be an array of 1s. Also if I compile the model using the Simulink coder, the output will also be an array of 1s. However if I modify myValues.m so that input1 = 2 and do not recompile, the realtime output is still 1. This is wrong, so how can I read variables from a file into the model workspace with a compiled model?
You cannot generate code for model callbacks. If you do not want to regenerate code every time you change your input you can try using "From File" block which can read data from a .mat file. When you want to change your data you can then run your MATLAB code and save the output data into the same .mat file. There are some restrictions on what kind of data is supported for code generation from this block. Check out the doc for that block for details.
If your data is not too big you can also edit the generated source to modify the data. Data from Constant block is usually in-lined in the generated source code. After editing you can compile the generated code to produce new binary.
Another approach is to write your custom C S-Function where you can read from your own data sources. You need to write a TLC file to support code generation for this S-Function.
You need to recompile your model if these does not work for you. Documentation at http://www.mathworks.com/help/simulink/ug/importing-signal-data-in-simulink.html lists different ways of importing signal data into Simulink.
This does not answer your question about Model callbacks, but it might be helpful anyway.
If the "Inline Parameters" option is checked in:
Preferences -> Optimization -> Signals and Parameters
there is no way to change values in an already compiled model because they are hardcoded. Once you have this option turned off and you have recompiled, you could for example connect with external mode and run your myValues.m script and the values will be updated (unless you have marked them as non-tuneable).
