Embedded C Code Generation Platform for Electric Vehicle Controller

This paper presents an automated C code generation platform for the development of electric vehicle controller, based on Matlab/Simulink Real-Time Workshop. By means of this method, it is possible to develop vehicle control algorithms and configure device drivers in graphic environment. Moreover, it can generate executable C code and download them into Vehicle Control Unit automatically. This technique reduces handwritten code errors, and shortens the R&D time and cost, compared with traditional method. Besides, this technology platform is applied to the development of electric vehicle controller for the first time, using a custom Simulink driver library for MPC5644A microcontroller.
