Generating C code from a Matlab-Simulink model for DSP C6748

dacdspembeddedMATLABprogramming

I'm trying to generate C code from a Matlab-Simulink simple model (eg.: sine wave generator with a DAC at the output). This code must be executed with Code Composer Studio
for TMS320C6748 DSP (Texas Instrument C6748). Specifically, for the development board OMAP-L138 ZOOM ™EVM DEVELOPMENT KIT.

For this, I am using the following versions:
Simulink (Version 7.7 – R2011a)
Embedded Coder (Version 6.0 – R2011a)
Code Composer Studio v3.3

I tried several options (with generic modules in Simulink and programming the C6748 timers, configuring a module "Target Preferences" with "OMAP_L138/C6748 EVM"…) but it isn't working.

Is it possible to implement this idea? Is there an example working?

Thanks

Code generation for OMAP-L138 EVM and C6748 EVM is not supported for older versions than Matlab 2011a.

For the release 2011a, the setup process is not trivial and it is not well documented. But Matlab has a patch for this version supports and works with certain specific requirements.

The release 2011b has improvements (hyperlinks required for products of thirds work with CCStudio v4 for this processor) and supports code generation for OMAP-L138 EVM and C6748 EVM.

For the release 2012a, Matlab has considered adding specific sections in the documentation for configuration and automatic code generation with these processors.
