Is it possible to run a model with a Simulink caller block without the associated Simulink function ?

I am using the AUTOSAR toolbox but my question applies to any Client/Server design pattern in Simulink.

In my application I generate some AUTOSAR-compliant C code, I am calling a client using the Simulink Caller block. My model updates and generates well but doesn't run because the server function is not implemented:

A definition for the function '...' called by Function Caller block '...', could not be found.

this is normal since the function is an AUTOSAR Basic Software service. I don't want to create it because I won't be able to map it (it's an external call). There is the same issue in this example provided with Matlab R2016a:

help\toolbox\ecoder\examples\autosar\mControllerWithInterface_client

A solution I have found is to create a second model with some empty wrapper for each Simulink function, and then call both models together using referenced models.

But I would prefer to have a standalone model... Is it possible?

Hi,

I have the same issue. Can you detail how you implemented --> "A solution I have found is to create a second model with some empty wrapper for each Simulink function, and then call both models together using referenced models." ?

Well the solution is to use the "invoke Server operation" from the AUTOSAR toolbox... I still don't understand why AUTOSAR standard examples don't use it.

I could not see "invoke Server operation" in the AUTOSAR toolbox. Where can I find it and how to use it ? Can you detail ?
