Can I deploy code on a Raspberry PI with MATLAB Home?

Hi all

I have a MATLAB Home edition at home to play around with its hardware support packages for Raspberry Pi, Android and do some data processing for my Arduino projects. Currently, I have the bare MATLAB Home license together with Parallel Computing to do batch photo manipulations on my GPU.

Now I am confused as to what I can do with the MATLAB Home license for Raspberry Pi. Since the MATLAB Coder is not available in the Home form, I cannot deploy code on the Pi as far as I understand. I could run a Simulink model on the Pi using the additional Simulink toolbox I believe, but can I then also actually deploy it without Simulink Coder? With 'deploy', I mean that the Pi executes the code as soon as it receives power without the MATLAB computer connected to it. So stand-alone mode.

Some examples of what I want to achieve:

• Use the Pi as a timelapse device, which captures a picture every x seconds and stores it as soon as it boots up.
• Us the Pi as a motion detection device, which stores video clips when it detects motion.

Is is possible to deploy such algorithms on the pi?

Thanks;

Jonas

Yes, when you choose target in Simulink, the generation it does should not require the Coder product.

Does the Raspberry Pi then start running the model when it powers up, without the host computer connected?

Yes. https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/242303-is-it-possible-to-start-a-simulink-model-on-raspberry-pi-automatically-after-power-is-supplied-to-th#answer_194261
