Tips

  • Before you specify the device type, select the device vendor.

  • To view parameters for a device type, click the arrow button to the left of Device details.

  • Selecting a device type specifies the hardware device to define system constraints:

    • Default hardware properties appear as the initial values.

    • You cannot change parameters with only one possible value.

    • Parameters with more than one possible value provide a list of valid values.

    The following table lists values for each device type.

    Key:float and double (not listed) always equal 32 and 64, respectively
    Round to = Signed integer division rounds to
    Shift right = Shift right on a signed integer as arithmetic shift
    Long long = Support long long

  • The Device vendor and Device type fields share the command-line parameter ProdHWDeviceType. When specifying this parameter at the command line, separate the device vendor and device type values by using the characters ->. For example: 'Intel->x86-64 (Linux 64)'.

  • If you have a Simulink® Coder™ license and you want to add Device vendor and Device type values to the default set, see Register New Hardware Devices (Simulink Coder).

Dependencies

The Device vendor and Device type parameter values reflect available device support for the selected hardware board.

Menu options that are available in the menu depend on the Device vendor parameter setting.

With the exception of device vendor ASIC/FPGA, selecting a device type sets the following parameters:

  • Number of bits: char

  • Number of bits: short

  • Number of bits: int

  • Number of bits: long

  • Number of bits: long long

  • Number of bits: float

  • Number of bits: double

  • Number of bits: native

  • Number of bits: pointer

  • Largest atomic size: integer

  • Largest atomic size: floating-point

  • Byte ordering

  • Signed integer division rounds to

  • Shift right on a signed integer as arithmetic shift

  • Support long long

Whether you can modify the setting of a device-specific parameter varies according to device type.

Command-Line Information

Parameter: ProdHWDeviceType
Type: string
Value: any valid value (see tips)
Default: 'Intel->x86–64 (Windows64)'

Recommended Settings

ApplicationSetting
DebuggingNo impact
TraceabilityNo impact
EfficiencyNo impact
Safety precaution

No recommendation for simulation without code generation.
For simulation with code generation, select your Device vendor and Device type if they are available in the drop-down list.  If your Device vendor and Device type are not available, set device-specific values by using Custom Processor.
