Hardware Software Co-Design and Testing Using Simulink Real-Time

Real-time hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) models have been an integral part of system testing and acceptance for over 20 years. With the increased use of Model-Based Design throughout the algorithm development cycle and improved performance of real-time simulators, the HIL model becomes ever closer to the Model-Based Design model. This allows for improved traceability from the algorithm specification to the hardware implementation and associated test environment.
