Bachelor Internship Assignment Running Custom Code in Simulink

Bachelor Internship Assignment: Running Custom Code in Simulink

Exploring the Integration of Custom C Code within MATLAB Simulink for Advanced Model-Driven Software Development.

Functiebeschrijving

At DAF we use Model Driven Development in MATLAB Simulink to model (program) our software. This approach makes our software readable by people with a different background than our Embedded Software engineers. However, modelling the entire functionality of an instrument cluster or diesel engine may lead to unreadable software due to its size. Therefore, we want to have investigated if and how we can incorporate text-based code (C code) within MATLAB Simulink. We aim to combine the power of both worlds by creating structured models, supported by the flexibility of text-based programming.

This assignment includes:

• Learning MATLAB Simulink
• Investigating ways to combine custom code and Simulink:
  • Integration in the Simulink environment
  • Integration at build/compile time
• Implementing a feature that uses custom code and Simulink
• Investigating how to integrate this in the processes used within our department
• Possible extensions:
• Vice versa, where MATLAB Simulink models are called from code context
• Investigating how to automatically test a combination between model and code
• Defining guidelines for safely using text-based programming languages
