Migrate Digital Read and Write Block Usage to STM32 Processor Based Library Block

When you migrate Digital Read block and Digital Write block usage in STMicroelectronics hardware board models from using Simulink Coder support package blocks to using Embedded Coder support package blocks, there is a workflow you should use. This table lists the blocks that should be migrated with this workflow.

Migrate Block Usage

Migrate from Blocks in Simulink Coder Support Package for STMicroelectronics Nucleo Boards Library	Migrate to Blocks in Embedded Coder Support Package for STMicroelectronics STM32 Processor Library
Digital Read	Digital Read
Digital Write	Digital Write

To migrate your model from using these blocks to using the corresponding blocks in an STM32Fxx Based Board block library, follow these steps. These example steps show the process for migrating usage from the Nucleo library Digital Read block and Digital Write block to the STM32 processor library Digital Read block and Digital Write block:

1. Open the Simulink model in which you are migrating block usage.

2. From Configuration Parameters > Hardware Implementation, note that the Hardware board selection is STM32 Nucleo F767ZI. Note the pin selections for GPIOE (D5 corresponds to external pin PE_11).

   

3. Change Hardware board selection to STM32F4xx Based. After the dialog box updates to match this selection, From Target hardware resources > Build options, use the Browse or Create buttons to select an STM32CubMX project file.

   

4. In the Simulink model, replace the Digital Read block and Digital Write block from the Nucleo library with a Digital Read block and Digital Write block from the STM32F4xx Based Boards library.

5. View the block configuration parameters. Confirm that the Port name and Pin number selections are configured as shown. This setting matches the pin mapping that you assigned in the CubeMX configuration IOC file.

   

6. To open the STM32 CubeMX configuration software and configure pin selections, click the Launch button from the Build options group.

7. In the STM32 CubeMX configuration software, configure the TIM1 resource for digital read or write operation on pin PE11 (GPIO_Input).
