A custom target is a software package that you create to deploy MATLAB® and Simulink® designs to target hardware. Using the package, you can perform tasks to optimize, prototype, verify, and deploy an application to your hardware. This table lists tasks that you can perform.
| Task | See |
|---|---|
| Generate code for a specific processor. | |
| Optimize generated code by using a processor-specific code-replacement library. | Code Replacement |
| Integrate real-time operating systems and device drivers. | |
| Build, deploy, download, and run the application on target hardware. | |
| Tune parameters and monitor target application signals during an external mode simulation. | |
| Perform code execution profiling through a processor-in-the-loop (PIL) simulation. | Code Execution Profiling with SIL and PIL (Embedded Coder) Set Up PIL Connectivity by Using target Package (Embedded Coder) |
| Test numerical equivalence between your MATLAB code or Simulink model and the generated code by running a PIL simulation. | Set Up PIL Connectivity by Using target Package (Embedded Coder) Configure and Run PIL Simulation (Embedded Coder) |
You can also create custom targets that are based on MathWorks® reference targets. For example, see:
