Support for Udoo Neo

The Udoo Neo is a new very powerful, low cost, mass produced, single board computer similar to the Beaglebone Black and the Raspberry Pi 2. I am wondering is there is planned Matlab/Simulink support for the Neo, if so, when might it be available? I would be interesting in helping to Beta test.

Um, probably not for a long time. Even assuming that MATLAB would run faster than a dog with two legs on a low end system with limited memory, ok, would run at all...

Sorry, but I hardly expect them to make the serious investment to support MATLAB on hardware that has relatively few current users. Think about it. How many people would they need to employ to put out a version for a completely different system? Pay those people their salaries, now consider how many copies of MATLAB they would need to sell to cover those salaries? If these are only student versions of MATLAB that might be installed on those systems, what profit would they see in such an investment?

It looks to be a powerful and inexpensive card. I encourage MATLAB support for it. I’m just now getting my feet wet on Arduino and Raspberry Pi, and have bookmarked the Udoo site.

Would the Arduino Support Package work with it, or am I misreading the Udoo documentation?

You can always submit a request here to support New hardware - https://www.mathworks.com/hardware-support/request-hardware-support.html

Good point! I just did this, quoting the URL to this Question in the text, and suggesting TMW contact Morgan Supanich to follow up on it.

You need to ask Mathworks Sales about this. Mathworks does not talk about future product support in public (except that sometimes some material leaks when a product is already out for beta testing.)

Those who know the answer for sure cannot tell you, because of Non Disclosure Agreements, so anyone who tells you Yes or No in public does not know what the true answer is.
