Abstract :
Nowadays design of embedded systems for controlling industrial processes requires higher and higher integration of analog and digital features. In this way, the system-on-chip approach for designing such embedded systems seems to be the most competitive solution in terms of cost-effectiveness and performance (Chindris, 2002 and Pop and Chindris, 2003). The classical solution still holds some of the advantages: most of the software tooling required for designing an embedded controller will consist in a control algorithm simulator (as Matlab Simulink) and code generation software for deploying the algorithm into the embedded controller. For that solution, code generation templates and S-function compilers are widely spread and cover a large family of microcontrollers and microprocessor. The paper will present a new method for using control algorithm simulators along with code generation software in order to deploy applications inside programmable system-on-chip devices. Deployment tests and experimental results will be also covered for a simple PID algorithm as test reference.
