Abstract
This paper presents concepts for implementing a variable step scheduled code on a low cost hardware using automatically generated code from Simulink running on a Free RTOS powered hardware. For models, which use a varying computing step, implementing variable step scheduler, instead of the default automatically generated fixed step scheduler, can improve algorithm performance. Concept and principles for creating Simulink model for code generation, which behaves the same way as generated code does, are explained in details. Previously described approach for automatically generated code from Simulink which implements variable step simulation is demonstrated using simple algorithm, running on a Cerebot MX7cK hardware.
