Simulink® Support Package for Raspberry Pi™ Hardware enables you to create and run Simulink models on Raspberry Pi hardware.

The support package includes:

● Library of Simulink blocks for configuring and accessing Raspberry Pi I/O peripherals and communication interfaces.
● Connected I/O to communicate with the IO peripherals on the hardware during Normal mode simulation.
● Monitor and Tune mode of operation which enables you to interactively monitor and tune algorithms developed in Simulink as they run on Raspberry Pi.
● Dedicated MATLAB App - Raspberry Pi Resource Monitor - to manage deployed applications and other hardware peripherals connected to Raspberry Pi.

Highlights:

● Support for industry-standard communication protocols like TCP/IP, UDP, WebSocket, CAN(MCP2515).
● Read and write blocks to communicate with peripherals over Serial, SPI, and I2C protocols
● ALSA based Audio Capture and Audio Playback blocks
● Video Capture and Display blocks that supports USB webcam and the camera board
● Servo and PWM blocks to control a motor connected to Raspberry Pi GPIO pins.
● Publish and subscribe blocks for MQTT client support for machine-to-machine and IoT applications
● ThingSpeak Read and Write blocks for direct integration with ThingSpeak IoT framework
● Log signals from Simulink models to a MAT file within the Raspberry Pi SD card.

Here's an example that demonstrates how to set up the hardware and deploy standalone applications on Raspberry Pi hardware using Simulink:

Simulink Coder™ lets you access the C code generated from Simulink and trace it back to the original model. Embedded Coder® lets you generate optimized code, use code replacement libraries, and perform software-in-the-loop and processor-in-the-loop verification.

This support package is functional for R2014a and beyond.
