MATLAB coder for Matlab 2016a edition ?

Hi all

I am a Home user of Matlab 2016a , and I like the latest changes (LIVE documents are nice !)and i have up to date subscription I saw that in 2016a , if i am not mistaken C code generation is offered for Student Edition

When Mathworks will enable this for the Home edition ? It would be very usefull to run some nice projects on more powerfull learning boards like STM32 for example !

Agree, I'm kind of semi-retired and would like to experiment on small embedded systems.

I read the answers. They dont make sense (they say it shall be limited as someone with Matlab Coder could use it for Industrial (?!) projects) Thats not true as Matlab home edition is already limited (example there is a max nr of Simulink blocks in a model) Anyway , why would Mathworks then release for Home Edition the parallel toolbox ?! That is for sure outside the normal hobby usage of Home edition (for massive parallel jobs)

Mathematica Home edition offer the FULL functionality of Mathematica (code generation included) How is this possible?

Anyway , if someone wants to use Matlab illegaly for personal projects , he can download the FULL version from INTERNET sites. He wont bother to pay hundreds of euro for Home edition I think this limitation is encouraging piracy

It did not say "shall", it said "might". It was written as speculation.

These days with it being much more the rule than the exception for computers to have multiple cores, it makes sense to offer parallel toolbox, which can help reduce computation time. The Home license does not offer Distributed Computer Server license, which would be what you would need for "massive parallel jobs". I am seeing an increasing number of postings from people wanting to handle I/O devices on different threads, a very modest use of parallelism but which has been common practice in programming for pretty much 20 years (POSIX Threads library was standardized in 1995, and there were pre-standard threading libraries a number of years before that.)

I will point the product manager for MATLAB Home to this posting.

Great ! Lets hope for the best :)

Any updates would be appreciated, I have recently purchased Matlab + toolkits for home use and I need to code and STM processor and I'm only now aware of this limitation preventing purchasing the coder for home version. Thank You
