14 Real-Time Workshop Ada Coder
14-2
Introduction
This chapter presents an introduction to the Real-Time Workshop Ada Coder.
It compares and contrasts the Real-Time Workshop Ada Coder with the
Real-Time Workshop, shows you how to use the product by presenting an
example, and concludes with a discussion of code validation.
Note: The Real-Time Workshop Ada Coder is a separate product from the
Real-Time Workshop.
Like the Real-Time Workshop, the Real-Time Workshop Ada Coder provides a
real-time development environment that features:
• A rapid and direct path from system design to hardware implementation
• Seamless integration with MATLAB and Simulink
• A simple, easy-to-use interface
• An open and extensible architecture
The package includes application modules that allow you to build complete
programs targeting a wide variety of environments. Program building is fully
automated. Automatic program building provides a standard means to create
programs for real-time applications. This chapter contains examples of
automatic program building on DOS and UNIX platforms.
The Real-Time Workshop Ada Coder is an automatic Ada language code
generator. It produces Ada95 code directly from
Simulink models and
automatically builds programs that can be run in real time in a variety of
environments. The Real-Time Workshop Ada Coder is an extension of the
Real-Time Workshop.
With the Real-Time Workshop Ada Coder, you can run your Simulink model in
real time on a remote processor. You can run accelerated, stand-alone
simulations on your host machine or on an external computer.
