Compiler/LAUNCHXL-F28379D: Communicate with F28379D on MATLAB

Fati Malek

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-F28379D

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hi,

Basically, when I am using scripts to write codes for Arduino and Raspberry Pi in MATLAB, I start with defining an object like "a=arduino();" for Arduino and "a=raspi();" for Raspberry Pi. This is the initial step to create a connection between my board and the computer.

How should I define something like that for LAUNCHXL-F28379D? I have searched a lot and it seems that LAUNCHXL-F28379D is good for Simulink but actually, there should be a way to interact with the board LAUNCHXL-F28379D.

Any suggestions or experiences?

Thanks

You haven't read my question. That's not what I am looking for.

Hi Fati,

MathWorks created special support for Arduino and Raspberry Pi that work directly from MATLAB as part of their respective MATLAB Hardware Support Packages. We don't have a comparable MATLAB package for C2000; but we do have a complete solution for embedded programming via Embedded Coder. Info on the complete C2000 solution is posted at this link:

https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/c2000/f/171/t/484814

If you really wanted to, it seems possible that you could create the communication object on your own - but I honestly couldn't tell you where to start. The C2000 doesn't use Ethernet like RPi, so I think you'd need to construct everything from scratch.

One other option that might be worth looking at would be to use CCS to manage the connection, and then communicate with CCS to route data to MATLAB. Under the hood, we actually use CCS to communicate to the C2000 in our package (download code, log and tune parameters).

HTH,

Hi Brian,

Thanks for your message.

The fact is that all the things that I can see on that link are about Simulink, and they are not what I want to. As I mentioned, first the object should be defined that you are saying, MATLAB has no option to do that through M-files and scripts.

I don't want to go and learn another language. Since 2008, I am using MATLAB and most of my works have been done by MATLAB. That's why writing codes in CCS is a major challenge.

The only thing I see on google that might work is below: and I don't think that is what you want.

I don't know of anything in existence that does what you are asking - you will need to author your own solution. And I will mention I've never heard of a similar request from other customers. However, it seems like this is technically feasible, but probably with a high degree of difficulty. I cant really help with this; way beyond my expertise. MathWorks Tech Support might have some suggestions; you can try contacting them directly.

Cheers,

-Brian

I contacted Antonin (one of the MathWorks staff) and I haven't received any reply from MathWorks.

Hi Fati,

Antonin's team builds the Embedded Coder solution I linked before; we don't have a MATLAB-based solution.

I called the MATLAB support team and was waiting over the phone for a long time. It seems that MATLAB doesn't have a MATLAB-based solution.
