Run SoC Blockset Model on QEMU

The SoC Blockset™ Support Package for Embedded Linux^® Devices provides the quick emulator (QEMU) as the default runtime environment for code generated and deployed using the support package. This emulation environment allows you to quickly explore the features of the SoC Blockset and your design without the need to connect and configure physical hardware boards or development kits.

To run a model in the QEMU, follow these steps.

1. Open an SoC Blockset model.

2. On the Apps tab, click System on Chip (SoC). In the System on Chip (SoC) window, set Hardware Board to Embedded Linux Board. Click Finish. Choosing Embedded Linux Board automatically selects the QEMU as the deployed runtime environment.

3. On the System on Chip tab, click Configure, Build & Deploy to launch the SoC Builder tool.

4. Follow the instructions provided in the SoC builder tool. On the final screen, select Load and Run to launch the QEMU and execute your model in the emulator. The QEMU appears as a CMD or terminal window.

5. You can close the QEMU at any time by closing the CMD or terminal window.
