Accelerating engineering design and discovery
The MathWorks is 100% focused on improving the productivity of engineers. We do this by providing tools that accelerate the design process and enable the discoveries that lead to design innovation and competitive advantage.
All of our products are based on our two core technologies:
MATLAB for algorithm development and data visualization
MATLAB, the world’s leading software for technical computing, algorithm development and data vizualization
Simulink for system-level design
and Simulink, an interactive, block diagram environment for system-level design and simulation

At MathWorks, all of our products are integrated. Fr example, you can embed C, M, or FORTAN as Simulink blocks. Or, you can run a simulation in simulink and send the results back to MATLAB for statistical post –processing.

7. MathWorks and TI working together
1989: MathWorks/TI development alliance begins
2001: Developer’s Kit for TI DSP released 2001
August 2002: Developer’s Kit split into two products
MATLAB Link for Code Composer Studio Development Tools
Embedded Target for C6000 DSP Platform

8. Diverse Areas of DSP study
Aerospace Engineering
radar, sonar
Biomedical Engineering (biotech)
Communications
Earth and Ocean Sciences
Electronics
           
                                            
Diversity is strength. Well aligned with TI served Industires. Key industries include automotive, aerospace and defense, and communications. MathWorks products are applied in many types of development processes, supporting both large and small workgroups. m

9. Developer Kit for TI DSP is now TWO products
Developer Kit for TI DSP v.1.2
MATLAB® Link for
Code Composer Studio Development Tools
Embedded Target for
TI C6000TM DSP
These tools are useful in different ways. The MATLAB Link is for DSP verification and validation, the Embedded Target is for Code Generation and Rapid Prototyping.

Auto code generation for
TI C6000 DSPs

10. MATLAB Link for Code Composer Studio Development Tools
Execute CCS commands
from MATLAB for
debugging, analysis, and
automation
Upload data from DSP memory
Download program data, parameters, and
test vectors
Exchange real-time data
between MATLAB and a running DSP
via RTDX without halting the DSP program
So, the MATLAB link establishes a bi-directional link between MATLAB and CCS, or between MATLAB and a DSP.
In both scenarios, you go through CCS, but one implies stopping the target processor, and one doesn’t imply stopping the processor.

11. Using the MATLAB Link for Code Composer Studio Development Tools
CCS communicates
with TI board
MATLAB controls CCS
DSP application in CCS
Real-Time DSP Data in MATLAB
Here is an example of “HIL or Hardware in the loop.
Let’s imagine that you want to verify that some code is running on the DSP. You start with a project in CCS. The MATLAB link establishes a link with CCS, which in turn creates a connection to the DSK. You can run a program in CCS (on the DSK) and determine how well it iis performing
