MATLAB: Do I receive an error when I try to use xPC Target Embedded Option without Embedded Coder in R2013a

Simulink Real-Time

I have a license for xPC Target and xPC Target Embedded Option. I am trying to use the xpctargetert.tlc system target file to build my model with the Embedded Option, but I receive the following error message:
 Embedded Coder is not licensed or not installed. The current target is: <matlabroot>\toolbox\rtw\targets\xpc\xpc\xpctargetert.tlc
According to the Product Page for xPC Target Embedded Option, Embedded Coder is not listed as a system requirement:

Why is this happening?

Best Answer

The system target file "xpctargetert.tlc" is actually unrelated to the xPC Target Embedded Option. The Embedded Option is a separate product that allows generated code to be run on a target machine in stand alone mode, whereas xpctargetert.tlc is related to the Embedded Coder option for xPC Target code generation, giving you more optimization settings for the code generation process.
If you simply want to use the Embedded Option for standalone deployment of your Simulink models on a target machine, you can use the xpctarget.tlc system target file.
