how to use .mex file in simulation for quanser qube servo?

Hi,

i would like to run an RLAgent on a Quanser Qube SERVO-2. Since the RLAgent included in the reinforcement learning toolbox is not supported by code generation it does not seem to be possible to upload that block as itself.

Instead i generated a .mex (matlab executable) file from the trained agent policy (.mat file). See:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/reinforcement-learning/ug/deploy-trained-reinforcement-learning-agents.html.

How can i run the generated .mex file in my simulink model?

Thanks for any tips,

Best regards,

There is no possibility that will work. MEX files require a full MATLAB runtime, either as an actual MATLAB or as the MCR (MATLAB Component Runtime.) MCR is only supported on platforms that MATLAB itself can run on -- which is currently only Intel x64 systems together with Mac M1 ARM-based systems.

If there is a way forward at all, you would have to generate standard C or C++ code instead of MEX .

I have generated C/C++ code using Microsoft Visio 2019. Could you please elaborate on how to proceed?
