Before following these configuration steps, make sure you have installed versions of MATLAB®, Simulink®, and Real-Time Workshop® onto your development machine that are
compatible with NI VeriStand.
In order to build a .out file, you will need a GNU toolchain to help with the build process. Follow the steps below to use the WindRiver compiler on Windows Vista or later.
- Download the WindRiver VxWorks GNU Toolchain (Please ignore the readme file in this zip file and follow these instructions for use with Simulink® and NI VeriStand.)
- From the downloaded zip file, copy the gccdist folder to C:\
- Navigate to C:\gccdist\supplemental, then right-click on setup-gcc.bat and select Edit
- To correct the environment paths in the setup-gcc.bat file, replace the following line:
set LM_LICENSE_FILE=%GCCPATH%\supp\zwrsLicense.lic
with
set LM_LICENSE_FILE=%GCCPATH%\supplemental\zwrsLicense.lic
Before attempting to compile your model, please use an installer disc or a downloaded installer to install
NI Veristand and the
NI VeriStand Model Framework .
With the NI VeriStand Model Framework and the GCC compiler prepared, you can now build the .out file for your model using The Mathworks, Inc. Real-Time Workshop® software:
- Open Simulink®. From within your model, go to Simulation»Configuration Parameters.
- In the Solver tab, please ensure the Stop Time is set to inf and the Type is set to Fixed-step.
- Under the Real-Time Workshop® category select the NIVeriStand VxWorks.tlc file click Apply.
- In the NI Configuration section under Real-Time Workshop®, input the correct WindRiver GNU Toolchain Setup Path which should be C:\gccdist\supplemental\setup-gcc.bat
- Click Apply and then click Build to compile the model.
