target.create

Create target object

Syntax

targetObject = target.create(targetType)

targetObject = target.create(targetType,Name,Value)

Description

targetObject = target.create(targetType) creates and returns an object of the specified class.

targetObject = target.create(targetType,Name,Value) configures the object using one or more name-value arguments.

Note

You can create an object and specify properties in one step for these classes:

• target.BuildTool

• target.Command

• target.MakefileBuilder

• target.TargetConnection

• target.Timer

• target.Toolchain

Examples

Create New Hardware Implementation

For workflow examples that use this function, see:

• Specify Hardware Implementation for New Device

• Create Hardware Implementation by Modifying Existing Implementation

• Create Hardware Implementation by Reusing Existing Implementation

Input Arguments

targetType — Target type

character vector | string

Specify class of object. For example, specifying:

• 'Processor' creates a target.Processor object.

• 'LanguageImplementation' creates a target.LanguageImplementation object.

• 'Alias' creates a target.Alias object.

For the full list of supported types, see target.

Example: 'Processor'

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes.

Example: myProc = target.create('Processor', 'Name', 'myProcessor', 'Manufacturer', 'myProcessorManufacturer');

Copy — Copy existing target feature object

character vector | string

Create a target object by copying values from an existing target object. For example:

myLangImp = target.create('LanguageImplementation', ...
                          'Name', 'myLanguageImplementation', ...
                          'Copy', 'ARM Compatible-ARM Cortex');

IDPrefix — ID prefix

character vector | string

Add a prefix to the IDs generated by target.create.

propertyName — Property name

character vector | string

Create the target object with properties that are set to values that you specify.

Output Arguments

targetObject — Target object

object

The object that is created and returned. For example, the object is a:

• target.Processor object if targetType is 'Processor'

• target.LanguageImplementation object if targetType is 'LanguageImplementation'

• target.Alias object if targetType is 'Alias'
