Abstract

The growing complexity of embedded control applications demands development methodologies that accelerate algorithm design, enable early-stage testing, and reduce time-to-market. Model-Based Design (MBD) with MATLAB/Simulink has emerged as a powerful paradigm that addresses this challenge, allowing engineers to design, simulate, and automatically generate production-ready embedded C code, catching design errors early in the development cycle.

Simultaneously, Texas Instruments' System Configuration Tool (SysConfig) has established itself as a unified graphical interface for peripheral and clock configuration across the entire TI microcontroller (? EP) portfolio. By providing a single, consistent configuration experience from pin multiplexing to driver setup, SysConfig eliminates hand-coded initialization boilerplate and ensures that hardware configuration intent is clearly captured, shareable, and reusable across projects and teams. This application note presents the integration of these two complementary technologies within the Embedded Coder Support Package for Texas Instruments AM13x.
