Model-Based Design for high performance devices oriented to advanced smart solutions

This paper applies Model-Based Design methodologies to develop a high-performance device driver model suitable for advanced smart solutions. These modeling techniques are mandatory to use when designing advanced smart applications based on embedded devices. The paper proposes an innovative approach to accurately models the operations of the STM32 analog converter peripheral for both simulation purpose and to generate an optimized code that integrates on the Low-Level STM32 firmware driver. A new Simulink toolbox has been developed to replicate the ADC functions. Finally, an example has been presented to show the effectiveness of this new modeling approach.
