How do I generate a C code from a Simulink model directly from command line?

I'm currently developing a CI project to build on Jenkins, from which one of the steps is to generate C code form a Simulink model. To implement it, a MATLAB command is required. However, I wasn't able to find any documentation indicating how to do that.

Does anyone know how to generate a C code from a Simulink model directly from command line?

Hi Andre Vidigal,

The MATLAB command to generate C code from a Simulink Model is "rtwbuild()".

You can check the documentation for "rtwbuild()" function here

To execute Matlab code within Jenkins you will need to install "MATLAB" Jenkins plugin linked here

For a refresher on using Jenkins CI with MATLAB a good place to start would be this Technical Article

For a model named "CruiseControlMode.slx", your Jenkins build step should look something like this:

( Assuming CruiseControlMode.slx model is in the MATLAB path )
