1.2.3  Setting up the Target Compilers 
 
The target compiler for Model-Based Design Toolbox needs to be configured. Use the notation 
below to setup these compiler environmental variables. Ensure a system environment variable 
called <COMPILER_STRING>_TOOL, corresponding to the compiler(s) you have installed, is 
defined to compiler path value as shown below: 
 
S32DS_PA_TOOL = {Toolbox installation path}/tools or  
                {S32 Design Studio installation path}/  
GHS_TOOL = {GHS installation path}/comp_201516/ 
DIAB_TOOL = {DIAB installation path}/diab/5.9.6.2/ 
 
 
Note:  Paths  shown  are  for  illustration,  your  installation  path  may  be  different.  Once 
environmental variables are setup you will need to restart MATLAB for the IDE environment to 
see these system variables. 
 
In  case  there  is  no  compiler  installed,  the  NXP’s  Model-Based  Design  Toolbox  is  going to 
default to the internal GCC 4.9.4 compiler.  
 
 
1.2.4  Setting the Path for Model-Based Design Toolbox 
 
If the  toolbox  installation as  Add-ons  was successful,  then the  MATLAB will  automatically 
detect  the  NXP’s  Model-Based  Design  Toolbox.  Nonetheless,  in  special  circumstances  you 
might need to run a special script to instruct the MALAB to recognize the NXP’s Model Based 
Design  Toolbox.  This  is  done  by  changing  the  MATLAB  Current  Directory  to  the  toolbox 
installation directory (e.g.: ..\MATLAB\Add-Ons\Toolboxes\NXP_MBDToolbox_MPC57xx\code) 
and running the “mbd_mpc_path” script.
