SIMULINK TUTORIAL | CODE GENERATION | WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEX AND C CODE ?
Understand the difference between C/C++ code generation and MEX file generation workflows in MATLAB Simulink for model-based design testing and hardware implementation. This tutorial compares the benefits and use cases of running generated code as MEX files within MATLAB for early software verification versus generating standalone C/C++ code for deployment on hardware platforms like flight controllers and automotive ECUs. Learn about required settings like fixed-step solvers, target hardware configurations, and testing strategies to ensure software reliability and safety-critical performance.
Key topics covered:
Comparison of C/C++ code generation and MEX file workflows
Setting up fixed-step solvers and target hardware for code generation
Using MEX files for software-in-the-loop testing within MATLAB
Verifying software behavior before hardware implementation
Safety and accuracy considerations in critical hardware applications
