Overview

You need to write a C-MEX S-function?

You hate the simulink C API? You do not like the code produced by the S-function generator?

You would like to use C++ and to write classes?

easyLink is for you!!!

Description

easyLink is a rapid C++ development kit for creating new blocks for Matlab/Simulink (S-functions). It allows to develop C++ mex S-functions with less code and using friendly classes.

easyLink is simpler and as efficient than the simulink C API. It provides a direct access to simulink input, output and parameter ports as well as MATLAB variables thanks to a C++ Array class.

easyLink is a multi-platform library that works under Linux, OSX and Windows.

Installation

1. Unpack the archive in a local directory
2. Open Matlab
3. Set the matlab current directory where easyLink is located
4. Execute the startup file "install.m" and follow instructions to select an installed C++ compiler

   >>install 

5. Execute the following command to compile and link a demo file

   >>make sfun_offset.cpp 

6. Open Simulink
7. Open the file "test_offset.mdl" and run it to check the installation

Use the file sfun_offset.cpp as a template to write a new S-function.
