2. In the Configuration Parameter dialog box, click Hardware Implementation.

3. Set the Hardware board parameter to a value such as Arduino Mega 2560.

4. The parameter values under Hardware board settings are automatically populated to their default values.

   You can optionally adjust these parameters for your particular use case.

5. Click Apply to apply the changes.

Hardware board

Select the hardware board upon which to run your model.

Changing this parameter updates the dialog box display so that it displays parameters that are relevant to your hardware board.

To install support for a hardware board, start the Support Package Installer by selecting Get Hardware Support Packages. Alternatively, in the MATLAB^® Command Window, enter supportPackageInstaller.

After installing support for a hardware board, reopen the Configuration Parameters dialog box and select the hardware board.

Settings

Default: None if the specified system target file is ert.tlc, realtime.tlc, or autosar.tlc. Otherwise, the default is Determine by Code Generation system target file.

None

No hardware board is specified. The system target file specified for the model is ert.tlc, realtime.tlc, or autosar.tlc.

Determine by Code Generation system target file

Specifies that the system target file setting determines the hardware board.

Get Hardware Support Packages

Invokes the Support Package Installer. After you install a hardware support package, the list includes relevant hardware board names.

Hardware board name

Specifies the hardware board to use to implement the system this model represents.

Tips

• When you select a hardware board, parameters for board settings appear in the dialog box display.

• After you select a hardware board, you can select a device vendor and type.

Dependencies

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

When you select a hardware board, the selection potentially changes the Toolchain parameter value and other configuration parameter values. For example, if you change the hardware board selection to ARM Cortex-A9 (QEMU), the Toolchain parameter value changes to a supported toolchain, such as Linaro Toolchain v4.8.
