1 Introduction

MathWorks offers a collection of MATLAB Simulink example projects that target Texas Instruments (TI)'s C2000™ microcontrollers, providing a valuable starting point for engineers who wish to implement sophisticated control algorithms on these real‑time processors. However, moving from the example files to a fully functional prototype involves a series of configuration steps that are not always obvious to first‑time users.

This application note walks you through the entire workflow required to take a MathWorks Simulink example and run it on a TI C2000 launch‑pad. Beginning with the download of the example package Sensorless Field-Oriented Control of PMSM Using C2000 Processors - MATLAB & Simulink, the note identifies the additional MathWorks toolboxes and product licenses needed, and points out the specific version of TI Code Composer Studio (CCS) that is known to be compatible. You'll then learn how to configure the serial (COM) port settings both in the Simulink model and in the host GUI so that communication with the MCU is correctly established.

Step‑by‑step instructions are provided for compiling the generated C code, loading the binary onto the target board, and launching the host‑side graphical user interface that interacts with the running application. By following this guide, designers can eliminate common pitfalls, reduce setup time, and gain confidence in deploying their Simulink‑based control solutions on TI's C2000 microcontroller platforms.
