xPC Target Release Notes    

Known Software and Documentation Problems

This section updates the xPC Target 1.2 and xPC Target Embedded Option 1.2 documentation set, reflecting known xPC Target and xPC Target Embedded Option software and documentation problems.

Uploading Data with External Mode

xPC Target does not support uploading data to normal Simulink scope blocks when using Simulink external mode. Instead, use xPC Target scope blocks or the xPC Target graphical user interface (GUI).

Target Command Line Interface

Visualizing or changing parameter values is limited to scalar parameters.

Memory-Mapped Devices

Some supported boards in the xPC Target I/O library are memory-mapped devices. These memory-mapped boards are accessed in the address space between 640K and 1M in the lower memory area. xPC Target reserves a 112 kB memory space for memory mapped devices in the address range

Some drivers for memory-mapped devices allow you to select an address range supported by the device, but not supported by xPC Target. For example, the CAN drivers for Softing allow you to select memory ranges above DBFFF. Select a memory range supported by both the device and xPC Target.

Selecting a Working Directory Inside the MATLAB Root Directory

Before you run the command xpctest, select a current directory outside of the MABLAB root directory.

During the build process, Real-Time Workshop does not allow files to be saved within the MATLAB root. If you select a current directory within the MATLAB root, the xPC Target test procedure will fail when trying to build a target application.
