install

Install real-time application on target computer

Since R2020b

Syntax

install(target_object,app_name)

install(target_object,app_name,'force')

Description

install(target_object,app_name) installs a real-time application on the Speedgoat^® target computer if the application does not exist on the target computer or if the checksum of the previously installed application does not match the application in the install command.

You also can install the real-time application from the RTOS command line. For more information, see Execute Target Computer RTOS Commands at Target Computer Command Line and Target Computer Command-Line Interface.

install(target_object,app_name,'force') installs a real-time application on the target computer without checking for a previously installed application.

Examples

Install Application on Target Computer

Install the real-time application slrt_ex_osc on the target computer TargetPC1, represented by target object tg.

tg = slrealtime;
mdlSTF = getSTFName(tg);
mdlName = 'slrt_ex_osc';
openExample(mdlName);
set_param(mdlName,"SystemTargetFile",mdlSTF);
slbuild(mdlName);
install(tg,mdlName);

Force Install of Application on Target Computer

Force an installation of the real-time application slrt_ex_osc into target computer TargetPC1, represented by target object tg. By using the force option, the function installs the real-time application on the target computer without checking for a previously installed application or checking whether a previously installed version of the application is up to date.

tg = slrealtime;
mdlSTF = getSTFName(tg);
mdlName = 'slrt_ex_osc';
openExample(mdlName);
set_param(mdlName,"SystemTargetFile",mdlSTF);
slbuild(mdlName);
install(tg,mdlName,'force');

Input Arguments

target_object — Object that represents target computer

slrealtime.Target object

Provides access to methods that manipulate the target computer properties.

Example: tg

app_name — Real-time application name

character vector | string scalar

Provides name of real-time application MLDATX file that you built from the model.

Example: 'slrt_ex_osc'

Version History

Introduced in R2020b

R2024a: Connect to Target Computer with Different Update Version

The connect, install, and load functions are able to connect to a target computer even when the development and target computer have different update versions of the same MATLAB release or the same support package release. The update versions must be compatible to permit connection and deployment of a real-time application.
