MATLAB/Simulink Requirements
  • Raptor requires a compatible installation of MATLAB/Simulink in order to create models for code generation. The following tools from Mathworks are required:
    • MATLAB
    • Simulink
    • Embedded Coder
    • MATLAB Coder
    • Simulink Coder
    • Stateflow
Compilers
  • To compile the generated code properly for your embedded platform, the appropriate compiler and associated license will be required. For instance, Raptor targets with a Freescale 55xx Microprocessor will require the CodeWarrior 55xx compiler.
    • The CM0711 uses the CodeWarrior for MPC55xx/MPC56xx Microcontrollers V2.10 compiler. You can download an evaluation version or purchase the compiler here.
    • The GCM48, RCM80 and M47 use the S32DS for Power Architecture, Version V2.1. This is a free download from NXP; please see our S32DS Compiler Guide for installation help.
    • The RCM112, for prototype or non-FuSA applications, uses the GCC compiler included in SPC5-STUDIO. This is a free download from ST; please see SPC5-STUDIO for a link to the latest installer.
    • The RCM112, for FuSA applications, will use the HighTec PowerPC compiler available form Hitex.
    • The GCM196 and ECM196 use the Hightec Compiler for the Infineon TriCore architecture v3.4.5.11 compiler. For more information on the GCM196 compiler, and to ensure you get the correct version, please contact New Eagle Support.
    • The GCM70 use the GCC PowerPC EABI 4.6.0 SPE compiler. This is a free download.
    • For VeeCAN targets, use the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) which is included free as an option in the Raptor installation process.
  • .NET Framework
    • Raptor requires the Microsoft .NET framework that comes preinstalled on most current versions of the Windows platform. If this is not installed prior to running the Raptor installation program, it will be downloaded (internet access required) during the installation process.
    • If necessary, the .NET framework can be downloaded manually at: www.microsoft.com.
MATLAB Version Support

Raptor currently requires Windows 7 or Windows 10 and MATLAB 2015b or newer. For the most recent compatibility information, please visit our wiki site at: Raptor Versions. Raptor Compatibility

Installation
  1. Download and run the latest Raptor installer program.
    1. Follow the instructions and change the options to your liking.
  2. When the installer finishes, run the Raptor Configuration Editor.
    1. This shows which versions of MATLAB and Raptor are compatible.
    2. Set the configuration settings for your version of MATLAB.
    3. For advanced users, the RAPTOR_DIR and custom path options allow for additional configuration options.
  3. Verify your Raptor License.
    1. If you have a dongle license, insert your USB license dongle into a USB port on your computer.
    2. Open the Start menu and go to New Eagle -> New Eagle License Viewer.
    3. In the MATLAB command prompt, type >>raptor_check_license
  4. Verify MATLAB/Simulink integration.
    1. When Raptor has been properly integrated, you will see the following message upon starting MATLAB:




Software/Code-Generation

Creating a Sample Raptor Project

The easiest way to create a new Raptor project is to use the 'raptor_create_project' function in the command prompt. This script will create a new project with the appropriate code-generation settings for Raptor. The new project will have a few useful folders where you may want to store project files in the future (CAN, Images, Libraries). These folders are automatically added/removed to the path when the model is opened/closed via the model_open/model_close scripts that are generated alongside the model (mdl) file.

  • Open MATLAB and in the command prompt type >>raptor_create_project
  • This will create a new project with the appropriate settings for Raptor.

Test Build
  • Select the proper target with the ECU definition block, also double check to make sure the compiler you intend to use is available and selected
  • Build the project by pressing 'CTRL+B' or select 'Tools -> Code Generation -> Build Model'
    • If successful, a message indicating 'Successful Raptor Build' will appear in the command window
    • The output files will be created and placed (by default) in C:\ECU

  • You may now flash your software onto the controller using tools such as Raptor-Cal

Programming Setup for Raptor Modules

Basic Programming Procedure

1. Install Raptor-Cal.

During the Raptor-Cal installation, an ECU folder is created on the C: drive of the computer, with the following folders:

  • RPG for Raptor Package (*.rpg) files
  • RDIS for display (*.rdis) files
  • RCAL for calibration (*.rcal) files

Please read the Raptor-Cal/Raptor-Service User Guide for detailed instructions on downloading and installing Raptor-Cal.


2. SmartCraft Hub Setup

Connect the following components to the SmartCraft hub.

  • Battery/power supply (+12V or +24V)
  • Key-switch
  • CAN termination resistor (120Ω) on CAN1
  • Kvaser USB-to-CAN device (connect to the laptop/PC) to CAN1
  • ECU harness

Ensure that your setup includes the following:

  • Make sure that battery power goes across pins A (+) and B (-)
  • Check for continuity between pins A and F with the key-switch turned ON
  • Check resistance across pins J and K (should be 120Ω if termination is connected)
  • Ensure that the ECU harness has pins A, B, F, J, and K populated to account for power, ground, key-switch, and CAN1. See image below


3. Raptor-Cal Programming Procedure

You will need to have a program file compiled to program. This is the *.rpg file that is generated after a successful build. The file is located in the RPG folder.

  • Open Raptor-Cal.
  • Make sure that the port setting is set to the correct baud rate and XCP settings that were last flashed/programmed onto the module. Please note that the port should be set to XCP Access Level = 4, XCP Broadcast ID (hex) = 100, and 250K baud for a module brand new out of the package. To check the port settings in Raptor-Cal, go to Edit -> Settings.
  • If all of the settings and setup are correct, turn on the ECU and click "Reflash."
  • With a DataLink Adapter connected, Raptor-Cal will begin scanning the CAN bus for available modules. When it’s done, all modules available for reflash should be shown. Choose the desired device and either double-click or click “Select.”
  • A dialog box will open to choose a Raptor Package (*.rpg) file in the file system. Navigate to the Raptor Package that you just created and select okay. The reflash process will begin immediately.

Note: A Raptor license only enables reprogramming permissions in Raptor-Cal. To enable calibration and display capability in Raptor-Cal, a Raptor-Cal license is needed.
