DSP Blockset 5.0 Release Notes

New Features

This section introduces the new features and enhancements added to the DSP Blockset 5.0 (Release 13) since DSP Blockset 4.1 (Release 12.1).

If you are upgrading from a release earlier than Release 12.1, then you should see New Features of the Release Notes for DSP Blockset 4.1.

Two major new features of DSP Blockset 5.0 include the following:

• Full single-precision support in all blocks
• Full support of the embedded real-time (ERT) generated ANSI C code (requires the Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder)

For details about these and other new features and enhancements, see the following topics:

• Full Single-Precision Support
• Full Support of Embedded Real-Time (ERT) C Code Generation
• Smaller, Faster Generated C Code That Requires Less RAM
• Full Boolean Data Type Support
• Expanding Fixed-Point Data Type Support
• New Blocks
• Enhanced Blocks
• New and Enhanced Demos
• Audio Blocks Relocated
• New Options for Event Detection

The increased support for single-precision computation and ERT code generation, together with other major enhancements, provide an efficient solution for the design and implementation of complete, high-performance floating-point DSP systems.
