For Simulink models, you need MATLAB, Embedded Coder, Simulink, and Simulink Coder. The DSP System Toolbox or other toolboxes might be helpful depending on your application. No other tools are necessary because the models are built on the BeagleBone. They generate a standalone executable that can be run without MATLAB / Simulink.
It's also possible to target the BeagleBone from MATLAB code without Simulink, although I haven't done that. For that I believe you need MATLAB, MATLAB Coder and Embedded Coder, plus some free tools: Eclipse C/C++ IDE (plus GNU ARM and Remote System Explorer plugins) and Sourcery CodeBench Lite. There's a good book about using MATLAB / Simulink with BeagleBoard. It and all Packt Publishing eBooks sare on sale for only $5 until Jan 3, 2014. Most of this book should also apply to BeagleBone using the configuration instructions I posted. *http://www.packtpub.com/rapid-beagleboard-prototyping-with-matlab-simulink/book*<http://www.packtpub.com/rapid-beagleboard-prototyping-with-matlab-simulink/book> The Simulink BeagleBoard target includes blocks for ALSA Audio Capture & Playback, SDL Video Display, V4L2 Video Capture, and UDP Send & Receive. I've never used Scilab/Sicos. -Kevin On Tuesday, December 31, 2013 5:26:46 AM UTC-8, Tux Leonard wrote: > Thank you for this great post.
