MATLAB: Embedded Coder generated .zip file problem

code generationEmbedded Codergenerated .zip fileMATLABsimulinksimulink coder

Hello,

When i generated code with Embedded Coder, generated zip file has a folder named R2018b.

This folder includes 3 folders(extern, rtw and simulink).

Inside these folders, they are some header files.

I noticed that these header files are in the following matlabroots.

MATLABROOT\simulink\include

MATLABROOT\rtw\c\src

MATLABROOT\extern\include

Why these header files are added to the generated zip file? I don't need those header files.

Thanks for help.

The feature to generate a .zip package is in fact using the command 'packngo'. You could investigate that command in more detail.

MATLAB: Unable to find ‘solver_zc.h’ header file in generated code from Embedded Coder

Embedded Coder does not place the 'solver_zc.h' file in the build directory. This is the case for several such header files, and is expected behavior. To access the 'solver_zc.h' file, please navigate to the path - 'C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2016a\simulink\include'.

That being said, to be able to consolidate all the required build files in one folder, it is recommended to use the 'packNGo' feature available with Simulink. Please follow the steps provided below to use 'packNGo':

In your Simulink model, navigate to the Code Generation tab in Configuration Parameters, and check the 'Package code and artifacts' option. Make sure to provide a name for the zip file.
Then, proceed to build the model.
This will generate a zip file that contains all the necessary build files.
To access the 'solver_zc.h' file, navigate to the folder - '<Zip-Folder-Name>/R2016a/simulink/include/'

MATLAB: Is the ‘rtlibsrc.h’ file not included in the current path of the generated code in Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder

The ability to automatically include the 'rtlibsrc.h' header file in the same path as the generated code is not available in Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder.

To workaround this issue from R2006b onwards, please use the command 'packNGo' to pack all the generated files. Using this command will automatically pick the file 'rtlibsrc.h'.

For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

To work around this issue, manually copy $MATLABROOT\rtw\c\libsrc\rtlibsrc.h file to the same directory as the generated code, where $MATLABROOT is the MATLAB installation directory on your machine which can be obtained by typing

matlabroot

at the MATLAB Command prompt.
