generate code in matlab in matlab

Matlab provides functionality for converting your MATLAB code to C/C++ code, which can be used for code generation in embedded systems. This can be done using the MATLAB Coder toolbox.

Here is some sample code to demonstrate how to use MATLAB Coder to generate C code from a MATLAB function:

main.m
% Define the input and output variables for the function
x = coder.typeof(0,[1 10]);
y = coder.typeof(0,[1 10]);

% Define the MATLAB function to be converted to C code
function y = my_function(x)
    y = x^3 + 2*x^2 + 3*x + 1;
end

% Generate C code for the function using MATLAB Coder
cfg = coder.config('lib');
cfg.TargetLang = 'C';
codegen -config cfg my_function -args {x} -outputs {y}
391 chars
14 lines

This will generate a C file and header file for the my_function MATLAB function. You can then compile this C code and use it in your embedded system.

MATLAB Coder also provides integration with Simulink to generate code for embedded systems from Simulink models. The generated code can be cross-compiled and deployed to the target hardware.
