Writing Hardware Drivers in Simulink — Good Idea?
Hey all, I was hoping to get some feedback on a design philosophy that may or may not be a good idea. For context, I’m an embedded software engineer who’s new to Simulink but fairly experienced with writing hardware drivers in C/C++.
I’ve got a large new project at work (bare metal) that is taking a model based design approach and one engineer (very experienced with Simulink), is advocating strongly for writing the HW drivers in Simulink. I’ve messed around with embedded coder a little bit and see how that could be possible, but my question is: Is this a good idea?
The argument is that by doing everything in Simulink we can take full advantage of the analysis tools built into the product to increase our confidence level in the software correctness, which is actually a very important thing we need in this project. I like the idea of that, however I haven’t seen many references elsewhere on the internet where this is done.Hey all, I was hoping to get some feedback on a design philosophy that may or may not be a good idea.
