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.

1.2.1 Run Add-on installer
Install the NXP’s Model-Based Design Toolbox by double clicking the *.mltbx file. This will
activate the MATLAB Add-ons installer that will automatically start the installation process.
After the MATLAB opens, you will be prompted with the following options:
1. The NXP’s Model-Based Design Toolbox Installation Wizard dialog will appear.
Click “Install” to proceed.
2. Indicate acceptance of the NXP Software License Agreement by selecting “I
agree to the terms of the license” to proceed.

3. Click “OK” to start the MATLAB installation process. The rest of the process is
silent and under MATLAB control. All the files will be automatically copied into
default Add-Ons folder within the MATLAB
The default location can be changed prior to installation by changing the Add-Ons
path from MATLAB Preferences
4. After a couple of minutes (2-5min), the NXP’s Model-Based Design Toolbox should
be visible as a new Add-ons.
5. More details about the NXP’s Model-Based Design Toolbox can be found by
clicking on View Details

6. NXP’s Model-Based Design Toolbox documentation, help and examples are fully
integrated with MATLAB development environment. Get more details by accessing
the standard Help and Supplemental Software section

1.2.2 License Registration & Installation
The NXP’s Model Based Design Toolbox is available free of charge, however, a license is
required. If you need to get a license it can be obtained by following the path outlined below.
If you encounter issues getting a license please submit a ticket at
https://www.nxp.com/support/support:SUPPORTHOME describing the issue.
Please perform the following steps to obtain your license:
1. Go to www.nxp.com/mbdt and click on “Download Eval”
2. Once you have logged in, the “Product Information”page for Model-Based
Design Toolbox appears.
Select the appropriate toolbox you wish you evaluate to bring up the Software Terms
and Conditions page.
3. Click “I Agree” to consent to the software license agreement.
4. If you need to download the tool, click on the linked file name. Otherwise, click on
“License Keys” tab.
5. Verify the correct tool is identified and click on “Generate”.
6. Enter your Disk Serial Number as the Host ID. If you do not know your Disk
Serial Number, go to “Locating the Host ID”in the document Model-Based
Design Toolbox License Installation to learn how to locate your Disk Serial
Number, which is needed to generate your license.
7. Click “Generate”
8. Either click on “Save All” or copy and paste the file into a text editor and save the
file as “license.lic”to the folder “..\MATLAB\Add-
Ons\Toolboxes\NXP_MBDToolbox_MPC57xx\code\lic”

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.

2 Run Models
2.1 Examples Library & Help
NXP’s Model Based Design Toolbox comes with an Examples Library collection that let you
test different MCU on-chip modules and run complex applications.
The Examples Library mbd_mpc574x_examples.mdl can be opened from “{Model
Based Design Install Directory}\MPC_Examples\”folder.
Note: the example library is divided into two sections: custom & generic examples. The generic
examples can be executed on all the processors and boards supported with none or minimal
changes. The custom examples are targeted for a specific processor and board and are highly
dependent on peripherals and pins available.
Each category contains multiple examples that showcase different Model-Based Design
Toolbox capabilities that are clarified in three layers:
-On-chip modules and peripherals examples covers the basic functionalities of the MCU;
-Modelling, Verification and Validation examples covers the SIL, PIL and additional
blocks supported by toolbox to help faster prototyping;
-Applications covers the AMMCLIB and Motor Control scenarios;
The examples are also available from standard MATLAB Help for NXP’s Model-Based Design
