Quick Start

This section sums up the basic requirements to start using SIL Simulator, both with Veronte Console and with Simulink blocks.

Note

For further details about SIL Simulator configuration, please proceed to the subsequent section Configuration.

Download

Once SIL package has been purchased, a GitHub release should be created for the customer with the application.

  • Download the SIL zip file from its corresponding release and decompress it in the desired location.

  • Download Veronte Autopilot 1x SD image downloadable from the Drive folder linked in the Veronte_SD_Image_SIL.zip.gdrive file and decompress it in the desired location.

    Important

    Veronte Autopilot 1x SD image occupies more than 100 GB of disk space.

For further information about how to access to the release and download the software, read the Releases section of the Joint Collaboration Framework manual.

Requirements

  • System Requirements

    Before executing this software, users should check the following sections with the minimum and recommended PC hardware requirements.

    • Minimum requirements

      • CPU: Intel Core i5-8365UE

      • RAM: 8 GB DDR4

      • STO: 256 GB SSD

    • Recommended requirements

      • CPU: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700H 14 cores up to 4,70 GHz

      • RAM: 32,0 GB

      • STO: 1TB SSD M.2 NVMe PCIe

  • Veronte Software Package:

    • Veronte Link (latest version available): Used to connect Autopilot 1x to the other tools.

    • 1x PDI Builder (v6.12.X): To build and load PDIs.

    • Veronte Ops (v6.12): Operations interface.

  • SIL with Simulink: To perform a SIL simulation using Simulink with the Veronte Autopilot 1x, the following programs and toolboxes are required in addition to the requirements described above:

    • MATLAB + Simulink (basic package).

    • The user can be helped by other simulink toolboxes when implementing their model:

      • Simulink Real-Time: This blockset contains useful blocks to be used with buses: UDP/RS232/CAN.

      • Aerospace toolbox: Contains sensor blocks, flight instruments and environment blocks.

    • Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 (or later) as your MEX compiler. Despite .mex file is already compiled and it works as a black box, some libraries are necessary.

      1. First, get Microsoft Visual Studio from here.

      2. Follow the onscreen steps, please make sure that C++ tools are selected (they may appear as an optional item).

      3. When finished, select it as your default MEX compiler by typing in MATLAB console mex -setup c++.
