RTW Programmatically Set Define Flag

I am using Simulink to do code gen and build SW for my TI hardware. I am able to successfully build my code by including a custom define flag to the build process:

This ensure that I have this definition in the generated make file

However I want to include this define programatically. How can I do this through matlab code?

I tried using the below and it did not work

myModelBuildInfo = RTW.BuildInfo;
addDefines(myModelBuildInfo,'-DBOOTLOADER_CAN_FLASH','OPTS');

That info is saved with your model, you can set it up

set_param('ModelName','CustomDefine','-DBOOTLOADER')

Thanks! This solved my issue. Is there a similar way to change the name of the build output? Say from 'my_model_name.exe' to 'foo.exe'?

I think you can specify it through a makefile, then tell rtwbuild to use that makefile.

Correct the makefile sets the output file name like so:

PRODUCT = $(RELATIVE_PATH_TO_ANCHOR)/Rotary_Prototype.out

However I want to set the file name (and folder name too) programatically through matlab. I tried the below but it did not work.

set_param(bdroot,'MakeCommand', 'make_rtw PRODUCT=$(RELATIVE_PATH_TO_ANCHOR)/foo.out')

depending on your toolchain setting, set 'BuildConfiguration' to be 'Specify', then set the last line of 'CustomToolchainOptions', where you can specify the makefile name in {'-f $(MAKEFILE)'}

>> get_param(bdroot,'BuildConfiguration')
ans =
    'Specify'
>> get_param(bdroot,'CustomToolchainOptions')
ans =
  1×14 cell array
  Columns 1 through 4
    {'C Compiler'}    {'-c -w -noregist…'}    {'Linker'}    {'-s -L$(LCC_LIB)…'}
  Columns 5 through 8
    {'Shared Library …'}    {'-dll -entry Lib…'}    {'Archiver'}    {0×0 char}
  Columns 9 through 13
    {'Download'}    {0×0 char}    {'Execute'}    {0×0 char}    {'Make Tool'}
  Column 14
    {'-f $(MAKEFILE)'}
