Verification

Show numerical equivalence between MATLAB® code and generated code

Use software-in-the-loop (SIL) and processor-in-the-loop (PIL) execution to check the numerical behavior of the code that you generate from MATLAB functions. A software-in-the-loop (SIL) execution compiles generated source code and executes the code as a separate process on your development computer. A PIL execution, which requires a target connectivity configuration, cross-compiles generated source code, and then downloads and runs object code on your target hardware. You can verify the numerical behavior by comparing the results from the SIL or PIL execution against the results from the original MATLAB functions.

You can generate traceable code, which helps you to check the absence of unintended functionality, understand how the generated code implements your algorithm, and evaluate the quality of the generated code.
