MathWorks Embedded Coder with the C2000 Microcontroller Blockset (previously: "Embedded Coder Support Package for Texas Instruments C2000 Processors") allows automatic build and execution on C2000 hardware from models developed using MATLAB and Simulink.

Answers to some common advanced questions are available on MATLAB Answers:

1. How do I use Simulink “Custom Code” blocks to measure code execution time on TI C2000?

2. How do I define a Custom Memory section for a TI C2000 using MathWorks Embedded Coder's Custom Storage Class designer?

3. How do I use MathWorks Embedded Coder to load data/code to flash and run from RAM on a TI C2000?

4. What are the supported data types when designing a Simulink application for TI C2000?

5. How can I use a two-model approach in MathWorks Embedded Coder for signal logging and parameter tuning on a TI C2000?
