Compilation of Flow Diagrams into Target Code for Embedded Systems

In this paper we describe a part of our work on the automatic generation of target code from Stateflow models. We focus on the flow diagrams from the Stateflow component of MATLAB and describe how flow diagram models can be compiled into target code for embedded systems. Moreover, the paper describes a method for analyzing flow diagrams, allowing an efficient code generation. The method described has been implemented as a code generator for Stateflow models and integrated into the TargetLink environment from dSPACE [3, 4].
