Hardware Implementation Pane Overview
In the Modeling tab of the Simulink® Editor, click Model Settings.
In the Configuration Parameter dialog box, click Hardware Implementation.
Set the Hardware board parameter to a value such as
Arduino Mega 2560.The parameter values under Hardware board settings are automatically populated to their default values.
You can optionally adjust these parameters for your particular use case.
Click Apply to apply the changes.

Hardware board
Select the hardware board upon which to run your model.
Changing this parameter updates the dialog box display so that it displays parameters that are relevant to your hardware board.
To install support for a hardware board, start the Support Package Installer by
selecting Get Hardware Support Packages. Alternatively,
in the MATLAB® Command Window, enter supportPackageInstaller.
After installing support for a hardware board, reopen the Configuration Parameters dialog box and select the hardware board.
Settings
Default:
None if the specified system target file is
ert.tlc, realtime.tlc, or
autosar.tlc. Otherwise, the default is
Determine by Code Generation system target
file.
NoneNo hardware board is specified. The system target file specified for the model is
ert.tlc,realtime.tlc, orautosar.tlc.Determine by Code Generation system target fileSpecifies that the system target file setting determines the hardware board.
Get Hardware Support PackagesInvokes the Support Package Installer. After you install a hardware support package, the list includes relevant hardware board names.
- Hardware board name
Specifies the hardware board to use to implement the system this model represents.
Tips
When you select a hardware board, parameters for board settings appear in the dialog box display.
After you select a hardware board, you can select a device vendor and type.
Dependencies
The Device vendor and Device type parameter values reflect available device support for the selected hardware board.
When you select a hardware board, the selection potentially changes the
Toolchain parameter value and other configuration
parameter values. For example, if you change the hardware board selection to
ARM Cortex-A9 (QEMU), the Toolchain
parameter value changes to a supported toolchain, such as Linaro
Toolchain v4.8.
