Embedded System

How can we use Simulink to design our embedded system.. Can we interface MATLAB and Simulink with our Micro-controller and control its operation.. Is it possible... and How???

I am using PIC16F877A micro-controller...

Perhaps this previous posting will help: sim2lab

Also perhaps this MATLAB File Exchange Contribution: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/linkexchange/links/1303-embedded-target-for-dspic-a-matlab-toolbox-for-real-time-control-of-dspic-microcontrollers

And see this Mathworks page: http://www.mathworks.com/academia/microchip/

(Note: I do not myself know if there is a difference between the dsPIC33 and the PIC16*)

Huge Difference....

[Arun Sharma]

Do you have some more information regarding this..

Actually dsPIC33 is much more advance then My one...

that one is 32bit micro and PIC16 is just 8-bit micro

And see these old practical notes:

I'm think I might be missing something. The PIC16F877A only has 368 bytes of RAM. That would be very limited to use as a USB controller such as you mentioned in your previous post. Are you sure your USB controller is not communicating via serial emulation to the UART that is on-board the PIC16F877A ?
