Implement FOC on Renesas RA6T2 MCU with Simulink

Walk through the algorithm export workflow for deploying control algorithms on the Renesas^® RA6T2 microcontroller, with a focus on field-oriented control (FOC) for motor control applications.

This tutorial is designed for embedded developers and control engineers who want to understand how to move from Model-Based Design in Simulink^® to real-time deployment on a microcontroller and gain a better understanding of Renesas hardware.

Start by exploring the concept of algorithm export—the process of generating C code from Simulink models using Embedded Coder^®. This approach is crucial when working with microcontrollers that are not natively supported in Simulink. In such cases, algorithm export enables developers to generate portable, production-quality code that can be integrated with custom hardware drivers and deployed using the target IDE.

The demonstration also highlights the importance of hardware support packages (HSPs) and products from MathWorks, especially Motor Control Blockset™ in the Simulink environment.

Key Topics Covered:

• What algorithm export is and why it’s needed

• Generating C code from Simulink using Embedded Coder

• Importance of hardware support packages from MathWorks

• Integrating generated code with custom hardware drivers

• Deploying to a Renesas RA6T2 using e² studio IDE
