Hardware Support Packages are…
• Downloadable add-ons that provide hardware support
• Often updated independent of the product release cycle
• Used by Simulink and Embedded Coder to deliver targets

What does a TARGET do?
1. Optimizes generated code
/* S-Function (sdspsine2): '<Root>/Sine Wave' */
updateVal = rtb_SineWave[j] =
ex_fircmsis_tut_mab2013_P.SineWave_Amplitude *
2. Automates the build process arm_sin_f32(ex_fircmsis_tut_mab2013_DW.SineWave
_AccFreqNorm);
– Generated Makefile
– Compile > Link > Download >
Execute
3. Verifies algorithms on
hardware with real-time,
real-world data
4. Deploys full systems as
standalone applications
– RTOS, Multi-core threads,
Device drivers

Benefit of using the STM32 Support Package
quickly deploy your application models in MATLAB and
Simulink to STM32 MCUs
Automate
– the process from "C" code generation to programming STM32
F4 or STM32F30x
– Code generation reporting
– Code execution profiling reporting for PIL execution

Summary for STM32 embedded target for
MATLAB and Simulink release 3.1:
Supported MCUs: STM32 F4
and F30x series
Automated Processor-in-the-
Loop (PIL) Testing using
USART communication link
Support for
– IAR EWARM
– Atollic TrueSTUDIO
– Keil MDK-ARM
Peripheral driver blockset
including ADCs, GPIOs,
USARTs, and Timers

Processor-in-the-Loop (PIL)
Verify compiled object code matches simulation
Communication
Gateway
Non-real-time execution:
synchronized with simulation
• Verify numerical equivalence
• Assess execution time
• Collect code coverage
• Create certification artifacts
• Software-In-the-Loop (SIL) can be
leveraged as well
