Model-Based Design for Embedded Systems with Simulink

Traditional embedded software development can be complex and prone to manual coding errors. Transitioning to Model-Based Design (MBD) allows you to visualize, simulate, and automatically generate production-ready code directly from your designs. In this text-based course, you will build a solid foundation in MBD principles using Simulink. You will progress from understanding core mathematical and logical blocks to designing complex state machines, simulating system behavior, and understanding how model-to-code generation works for real-world microcontrollers. What you'll learn: - Understand the core principles of Model-Based Design and the embedded software development lifecycle. - Build functional Simulink models using math, logic, state charts, and subsystem blocks. - Implement industry-standard algorithms such as debouncing, counters, and closed-loop PID control. - Configure models for automatic C code generation targeted at microcontrollers. - Apply modern Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) verification concepts to test your designs before hardware deployment. The course starts with fundamental MBD terminology and Simulink environment basics, moving systematically through block configurations, logic design with Stateflow, and ending with practical code-generation workflows. This course is designed for aspiring embedded software engineers, students, and hobbyists with no prior MBD experience.
