target.AddOn Class

Namespace: target

Describe add-on properties for target type

Since R2020b

Description

Use the target.AddOn class to capture custom properties that you can associate with these types of objects:

• target.CommunicationChannel
• target.CommunicationProtocolStack
• target.Board
• target.Processor
• target.ConnectionProperties

To extend the objects, assign the target.AddOn object to theAddOns property.

To create a target.AddOn object, use the target.create function.

Name of the reusable add-on object.

Example: arduinoAddOn.Name = 'ArduinoBoardProperties';

Add device-specific properties to a target.Board definition. Add information about the Arduino® part number and programmer to an Arduino board definition.

Create a board for Arduino Mega 2560.

mega = target.create('Board', ... 'Manufacturer', 'Arduino', ... 'Name', 'Mega 2560');

Create a target.AddOn object that specifies the Arduino board part number and programmer.

arduinoAddOn = target.create('AddOn'); arduinoAddOn.Name = 'ArduinoBoardProperties'; arduinoAddOn.addProperty('ArduinoPartNumber', 'String'); arduinoAddOn.addProperty('ArduinoProgrammer', 'String'); mega.AddOns = arduinoAddOn;

Specify the part number and programmer values.

mega.set('ArduinoPartNumber', 'm2560'); mega.set('ArduinoProgrammer', 'wiring');

You can parameterize the avrdude command for the deployment of an Arduino application.

command= target.create('Command'); command.String = 'avrdude';

command.Arguments = {'-p$(BOARD.ArduinoPartNumber)' ... '-c$(BOARD.ArduinoProgrammer)' ... '-Uflash:w:$(EXE):i'};

mega.Tools.ExecutionTools(1) = target.create('SystemCommandExecutionTool', ... 'Name', 'avrdude execution', ... 'StartCommand', command);
