1.2  Installation Steps 
 
NXP’s  Model-Based Design Toolbox is delivered as MATLAB Toolbox Package that can be 
installed offline or online from MathWorks Add-ons. This document shows how to install the 
offline package, assuming you have already downloaded the file from NXP’s official web page.  
 
To have the toolbox installed and configured properly the following actions should be executed: 
1.  Run  the  MATLAB  toolbox  package  file  *.mltbx  downloaded  from  NXP’s  Model-
Based Design Toolbox web page 
2.  Register and install the toolbox license file into ..\My Documents\MATLAB\Add-
Ons\Toolboxes\NXP_MBDToolbox_MPC57xx\code\lic 
3.  Set the Target Compiler Environment Variables 
4.  Setup the MATLAB path for Model-Based Design Toolbox 
 
Each of these actions are explained in the following sub-chapters.
