A support package is an add-on that enables you to use a MathWorks® product with specific third-party hardware and software.
For example, support packages available for use with MATLAB® include:
Arduino® Hardware
LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 Hardware
Raspberry Pi™ Hardware
USB Webcam
For a complete list of available support packages, see Hardware Support.
You install support packages using the MATLAB Add-Ons menu. You can also use Add-Ons to update installed support package software or update the firmware on third-party hardware.
To install support packages, on the MATLAB Home tab, in the Environment section, click Add-Ons > Get Hardware Support Packages.
