[FAQ] FAQ: What are the supported data types when designing a Simulink application for TI C2000?

MathWorks Embedded Coder with the MathWorks TI C2000 Hardware Support Package allows automatic build and execution on C2000 hardware from models developed using MATLAB and Simulink.

Texas Instruments C2000™ MCUs support 16-bit and 32-bit data types, but do not support native 8-bit data types. Simulink® models and Embedded Coder® software support many data types, including 8-bit data types.

If you select int8 or uint8 in your model, your simulation runs with 8-bit data, but in the generated code this data is represented as 16-bit. This may cause instances where data overflow and wraparound occur in the simulation, but not in the generated code.

In C2000 devices, in the generated code, the double data type is represented as single precision floating point values (32-bit). This representation results in a difference in data values in the simulation and the generated code.

Fixed-point data type is also supported and using C28x IQmath Library blocks, one can perform processor-optimized fixed-point mathematical operations.

Details on C28x IQmath Library blocks are available here

One can enable the CRL as shown below when using fixed point math to generate optimized code using IQ math routines.
