Usage with SCADE Suite

Settings

Select the target Proxy for Python in the Code Integration tab.

The settings page Python is visible when the target is selected:

• Module name (default $(project_name)): Name of the Python proxy. Provide either a name or use one of the following macros:

  • $(project_name): aaa_BbbCcc –> aaa_bbb_ccc

  • $(ProjectName): aaa_BbbCcc –> AaaBbbCcc

  • $(PROJECT_NAME): aaa_BbbCcc –> AAA_BBB_CCC

  • $(projectname): aaa_BbbCcc –> aaa_BbbCcc (unchanged)

• Enable co-simulation (default false): When selected, the Python proxy contains additional instructions to open a SCADE Simulator session and automatically redirects the changes to the inputs and the calls to the cyclic function.

• kcg_size (default int64): Corresponding C type for kcg_size, which is defined as int by default in kcg_types.h.

• kcg_false (default 0): Value of kcg_false.

• kcg_true (default 1): Value of kcg_true.

Code Generation/Build

Build the application using the Code Generator target Proxy for Python, as described in the former section. This produces a DLL and its Python interface. The implementation of the generated module relies on the ctypes module. It is important to know its usage to access I/Os of complex types, for example structures and arrays.
