Starting the Build

Once you have completely configured a Stateflow simulation or RTW target, you want to start the build process to generate code from your model and compile it. This section describes how to start a build for a simulation target or Real-Time Workshop target in Stateflow with the following topics:

Starting a Simulation Target Build -- Tells you how to start a build for the simulation target (sfun).
Starting an RTW Target Build -- Tells you how to start a build for the RTW target (rtw).

Starting a Simulation Target Build

You can start a target build for a Stateflow simulation target (sfun) in one of the following ways:

Select Start from the Stateflow or Simulink editor's Simulation menu

Automatically builds and runs a simulation target.

Select Debug from the Stateflow editor's Tools menu

Automatically builds and runs a simulation target. This is equivalent to the previous method.

Select the Build button on the Simulation Target Builder dialog box for the target

Use this option if you want to build a simulation target without running it. You would typically want to do this to ensure that Stateflow can build a target containing custom code.

Using the target builder to launch the build allows you to choose between an incremental build, a full build, and a build without code generation. See Configuring a Simulation Target for Stateflow for more information.

Starting an RTW Target Build

You can start a target build for a Stateflow Real-Time Workshop (rtw) target in one of the following ways:

By selecting the Build RTW button on the RTW Target Builder dialog box for the target

You must use this option to build stand-alone targets. Using the target builder to launch the build allows you to choose between full build or rebuild and a build of Stateflow code only. See Configuring Real-Time Workshop for Stateflow for more information.

By selecting the Build button on the Real-time Workshop panel of the Simulation Parameters dialog box in Simulink.

Select Real-Time Workshop options on the RTW Target Builder dialog box to access the Simulation Parameters dialog box of Simulink. See Configuring Real-Time Workshop for Stateflow for more information.
