  7. Innovation: Innovate Faster Innovate Faster!

  8. Model-Based Design Model-Based Design and Automatic Code Generation is the future of embedded controls. SimuQuest believes that as companies across all industries realize the innovation advantage that it provides, it will play a part in the design of nearly all embedded systems worldwide.

  9. Agenda • Introduction to modeling and auto-code • Examples of Simulink / Stateflow • Exploration of design concerns • Fixed-point vs. floating point • Integrating hand code with auto-code • Modeling an entire application: One-Touch code generation • Q&A

  10. Agenda (in other words) • Make the case for modeling and auto-code • Show you what modeling and auto-code is all about • Show you just how far it can be taken • Answer questions

  11. Key Takeaways • Models helps define requirements • Models can be auto-coded • You can use that C code flexibly • Auto-coding is powerful • Auto-coding saves you time

  17. Or… Use Case 1 Use Case n Why Typical Approaches Don’t Work! Req 1.6.5.9.1.2.3 - Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent ut orci nulla. Aenean nulla metus, blandit eget blandit vitae, commodo sit amet metus. Mauris lacinia varius dui, quis dictum nisi aliquet vitae. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer nisi nunc, blandit vitae porta vitae, faucibus sit amet neque… Still ambiguous! Not Executable!

  32. More Control Over Generated Code Feature Data Types Target Variables File Naming Legacy Code

  33. More Control Over Generated Code • Simple: Can control variable’s: • Placement in RAM / ROM • Class (const, volatile, etc) • Naming • Scope (global vs. local) • Advanced: Can control variable’s: • Declaration • Definition • Code needed to read • Code needed to write

  34. More Control Over Generated Code (Cont’d) • Simple: Can control subsystem’s: • Name of the file containing its code • Name of the generated function • Advanced: Can control subsystem’s: • Placement in memory (near vs. far for example) • RAM / ROM variable placement in memory
