Interprocess Data Write

Send messages to another processor using interprocessor data write

Since R2020b

• 

Libraries:
SoC Blockset / Processor Interconnect
C2000 Microcontroller Blockset / Target Communication

Description

The Interprocess Data Write block asynchronously sends messages to another processor in an SoC using an interprocess data channel. The Interprocess Data Write block connects to an Interprocess Data Channel block that similarly connects to an Interprocess Data Read block contained in a separate processor reference model. In simulation, data from the current processor is asynchronously sent and processed in the processor containing the Interprocess Data Read block and associated asynchronous task. This diagram shows a generalized view of the interprocess data channel.

Examples

One Way Interprocess Communication

One-way interprocess data communication between two bare metal processors.

Open Script

Two Way Interprocess Communication

Two-way interprocess data communication between two processors running in an operating system managed processor.

Open Model

Partition Motor Control for Multiprocessor MCUs

Partition real-time motor control application on to multiple processors to achieve design modularity and improved control performance.

Open Example

Ports

Input

data — Data input

vector

This port receives a data vector to send to another processor over the interprocess data channel.

Data Types: single | int8 | int16 | int32 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | Boolean | fixed point

Output

msg — Output data message

scalar

This message port sends the output data as a message to the connected Interprocess Data Channel block. For more information on messages, see Messages.

Dependencies

This port appears only when Enable status port parameter is enabled.

Data Types: SoCData

Parameters

Enable simulation port — Enable peripheral simulation port to block

on (default) | off

Select this parameter to configure the msg output port to enable peripheral simulation capability.

Channels number — Select the channel number

0 (default) | 1 | 2 | ...

Select the channel where you want to send the data.

Dependencies

This parameter is visible only when you disable the Enable simulation port parameter.

Number of buffers — Number of storage buffers

1 (default) | positive integer

Number of buffers making up the storage system.

Dependencies

This parameter is visible only when you disable the Enable simulation port parameter.

Participating cores — Select the participating cores of the processor

The options vary based on the hardware board you select

Select the participating cores as per the Hardware board you select in the Configuration Parameters window.

Dependencies

This parameter is visible only when you disable the Enable simulation port parameter.

Note

Ensure that Channel number, Number of buffers and Participating cores parameters match for the corresponding Interprocess Data Read and Interprocess Data Write blocks of the model.
