How to interface Matlab/Simulink <--->RS232<--->8051 Micrcontroller?

How to interface Matlab/Simulink <--->RS232<--->8051 Micrcontroller?

Say for example by sending a bit signal from Matlab through RS232 to 8051, a LED should glow.

Is this possible?

Hello @Luit Dutta

As per my understanding, you are trying to setup a communication between MATLAB/Simulink and 8051 microcontroller via RS232 cable. An interface can be setup between MATLAB and 8051 microcontroller via the Instrument Control Toolbox. A serial object should be created which can read and write data serially.

Simulink does not support 8051 microcontroller hardware. But there is one work around for this which is explained in the link given below:
