Difference between Simulink Coder, Embedded Coder and Matlab Coder

Hi,

Please carify me the difference between the Simulink Coder, Embedded Coder and the Matlab Coder.

Also please share any documents on the above products.

Thank you Praveen

Answer 1

[Arnaud Miege]

MATLAB Coder is used to generate ANSI C/C++ code from MATLAB and is a pre-requisite for Simulink Coder and Embedded Coder. Simulink Coder does the same thing, but from Simulink. Embedded Coder allows to optimize/customize the code generated by MATLAB Coder and Simulink Coder for production use.

Have a look at this blog for more information.

HTH,

Arnaud

Hi, here is an example between Simulink Coder and Embedded Coder:

open_system('rtwdemo_slcustcode')

If someone would like to explain, please, be my welcome guest. I've notives that Embedded Coder generates less code .c and .h than Simulink Coder. But, what is really the difference?

Best!

Hi,

I think the product discription on the hompage explains it very good:

no it doesnt

I agree. Don't RTFM us Fartrich on 21 Jul 2011!!

Thanks @Friedrich, the links are great, they tell it all:

• "MATLAB Coder™ generates C and C++ code from MATLAB® code for a variety of hardware platforms..."
• "Simulink Coder™ (formerly Real-Time Workshop®) generates and executes C and C++ code from Simulink® models..."
• "Embedded Coder extends MATLAB Coder™ and Simulink Coder™ with advanced optimizations for precise control of the generated functions, files, and data..."

hi If I want to share a block simulink or embedded function That I have created. Can I send it like a black box to someone in order to keep it secret from other users. (I do not want to use S-function or mask) thanks
