Tips

Before you specify the device type, select the device vendor.
To view parameters for a device type, click the arrow button to the left of Device details.

Selecting a device type specifies the hardware device to define system constraints:

Default hardware properties appear as the initial values.
You cannot change parameters with only one possible value.
Parameters with more than one possible value provide a list of valid values.

The following table lists values for each device type.

Key:	float and double (not listed) always equal 32 and 64, respectively
	Round to = Signed integer division rounds to
	Shift right = Shift right on a signed integer as arithmetic shift
	Long long = Support long long
Device vendor / Device type	Number of bits									Largest atomic size		Byte ordering	Round to	Shift right	Long long
Device vendor / Device type	char	short	int	long	long long	native	pointer	size_t	ptrdiff_t	int	float	Byte ordering	Round to	Shift right	Long long

The Device vendor and Device type fields share the command-line parameter ProdHWDeviceType. When specifying this parameter at the command line, separate the device vendor and device type values by using the characters ->. For example: 'Intel->x86-64 (Linux 64)'.
If you have a Simulink^® Coder™ license and you want to add Device vendor and Device type values to the default set, see Register New Hardware Devices (Simulink Coder).

Dependencies

The Device vendor and Device type parameter values reflect available device support for the selected hardware board.

Menu options that are available in the menu depend on the Device vendor parameter setting.

With the exception of device vendor ASIC/FPGA, selecting a device type sets the following parameters:

Number of bits: char
Number of bits: short
Number of bits: int
Number of bits: long
Number of bits: long long
Number of bits: float
Number of bits: double
Number of bits: native
Number of bits: pointer
Largest atomic size: integer
Largest atomic size: floating-point
Byte ordering
Signed integer division rounds to
Shift right on a signed integer as arithmetic shift
Support long long

Whether you can modify the setting of a device-specific parameter varies according to device type.

Command-Line Information

Parameter: ProdHWDeviceType

Type: string

Value: any valid value (see tips)

Default: 'Intel->x86–64 (Windows64)'

Recommended Settings

Application	Setting
Debugging	No impact
Traceability	No impact
Efficiency	No impact
Safety precaution	No recommendation for simulation without code generation. For simulation with code generation, select your Device vendor and Device type if they are available in the drop-down list. If your Device vendor and Device type are not available, set device-specific values by using `Custom Processor`.
