By interfacing with several toolkits, development tool chains and a distributed memory
multiprocessing operating system, PARS is able to accomplish the incredible feat of
automating the process of realizing model-based designs into deployable firmware on
embedded hardware systems.
2.1.2.
Features
• Target embedded systems consisting of TI DSP (C64xx, C67xx) and Xilinx FPGA
• Manages all inter-processor communication and synchronization
• Generates test benches for Hardware-In-The-Loop simulation
• Generates stand-alone (ROM-able) applications
2.1.3.
Benefits
• Maintain the system specification in model-based design space
• Complete and seamless access to wealth of visualization and diagnostic tools in Simulink
• Machine generated software and firmware eliminates time-consuming implementation effort
2.2.
REQUIREMENTS
PARS requires several products, toolkits and development environments. They are enumerated below.
The MathWorks software
2
1. Matlab R2007B or R2008A
3
2. Simulink®
3. Real Time Workshop or Real Time Workshop Embedded Coder (preferred)
4. Simulink® HDL Coder™ (optional, if targeting FPGA and not using Sysgen, below)
5. Simulink® Fixed Point and Fixed Point Blockset (optional, if targeting FPGA)
6. Signal Processing Blockset (optional, but recommended)
Texas Instruments software
7. Code Composer Studio 3.3
Xilinx software (optional, if targeting any FPGAs)
8. ISE 10.1.03i (Service Pack 3, including all IP updates)
9. Xilinx System Generator 10.1.03 (optional, if not using Simulink® HDL Coder™, above)
3L software
10. Diamond/DSP and Diamond/FPGA v3.1.10
11. Diamond Service Update 7 (provided with PARS installation)
12. SDB Hotfix (provided with PARS installation)
These must be properly installed and configured prior to generating code. Additionally, any hardware-
vendor drivers should also be installed prior to running test benches under hardware-in-the-loop. Any
