Install Arduino-Compatible ESP32 Core

While installing the Simulink Support Package for Arduino Hardware as described in Install Support for Arduino Hardware, execute these commands to manually install the core for your Arduino compatible ESP32 hardware boards.

  1. On MATLAB® Command Window, execute this command to get Arduino command line interface (CLI) root path.

    cliPath = codertarget.arduinobase.internal.getArduinoIDERoot
    cliPath =

    'C:\aCLI\

  2. On your host terminal, change directory to the CLI path obtained from the above function call.

  3. Add the JSON file to the additional URLs for the Board Manager of the arduino-cli.yaml file. This file is located in the Arduino CLI root path.

    arduino-cli config set board_manager.additional urls https://espressif.github.io/arduino-esp32/package_esp32_index.json --config-file "C:\aCLI\arduino-cli.yaml"

  4. Update index of ESP32 core to the latest version.

    arduino-cli core update-index --additional-urls https://espressif.github.io/arduino-esp32/package_esp32_index.json --config-file "C:\aCLI\arduino-cli.yaml"

  5. Install ESP32 core.

    arduino-cli core install esp32:esp32@2.0.17 --config-file "C:\aCLI\arduino-cli.yaml"

  6. Make sure that ESP32 core is installed.

    arduino-cli core list
    ID                   Installed Latest    Name 
esp32:esp32 2.0.17    2.0.17             esp32

  7. Navigate to the Arduino CLI root path. Observe that the esp32 folder is present in the data > packages folder.

Install Arduino-Compatible ESP32 Servo Library

While installing the Simulink Support Package for Arduino Hardware as described in Install Support for Arduino Hardware, execute these commands to manually install the ESP32 servo library for your Arduino compatible ESP32 hardware boards.

    cliPath = codertarget.arduinobase.internal.getArduinoIDERoot
    cliPath =

    'C:\aCLI\

  2. On your host terminal, change directory to the CLI path obtained from the above function call.

  3. Install ESP32 servo library.

    arduino-cli lib install ServoESP32@1.0.3 --config-file "C:\aCLI\arduino-cli.yaml"

  4. Navigate to the Arduino CLI root path. Observe that the ServoESP32 folder is present in the user > libraries folder.

Install Arduino-Compatible Teensy Core

While installing the Simulink Support Package for Arduino Hardware as described in Install Support for Arduino Hardware, execute these commands to manually install the Teensy core for your Arduino compatible Teensy hardware boards.

  1. On MATLAB Command Window, execute this command to get Arduino command line interface (CLI) root path.

    cliPath = codertarget.arduinobase.internal.getArduinoIDERoot
    cliPath =

    'C:\aCLI\

  2. On your host terminal, change directory to the CLI path obtained from the above function call.

  3. Add the JSON file to the additional URLs for the Board Manager of the arduino-cli.yaml file. This file is located in the Arduino CLI root path.

    arduino-cli config set board_manager.additional_urls https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/package_teensy_index.json --config-file "C:\aCLI\arduino-cli.yaml"

  4. Update index of Teensy core to the latest version.

    arduino-cli core update-index --additional-urls https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/package_teensy_index.json --config-file "C:\aCLI\arduino-cli.yaml"

  5. Install Teensy core.

    arduino-cli core install teensy:avr@1.58.2 --config-file "C:\aCLI\arduino-cli.yaml"

  6. Make sure that Teensy core is installed.

    arduino-cli core list
    ID                   Installed Latest   Name 
teensy:avr@1.58.2    1.58.2             teensy

  7. Navigate to the Arduino CLI root path. Observe that the teensy folder is present in the data > packages folder.

Install Arduino-Compatible Pico Core

While installing the Simulink Support Package for Arduino Hardware as described in Install Support for Arduino Hardware, execute these commands to manually install the Pico core for your Arduino compatible Pico hardware boards.

  1. On MATLAB Command Window, execute this command to get Arduino command line interface (CLI) root path.

    cliPath = codertarget.arduinobase.internal.getArduinoIDERoot
    cliPath =

    'C:\aCLI\

  2. On your host terminal, change directory to the CLI path obtained from the above function call.

  3. Add the JSON file to the additional URLs for the Board Manager of the arduino-cli.yaml file. This file is located in the Arduino CLI root path.
