Is Matlab-Home edition eligible for the BeagleBone Black Hardware Support Package?

It looks like in order to work with Matlab and BeagleBone Black, you need the Embedded Coder package. However I don't see it listed in the Home-Add-ons page:

And according to the video, it also looks like Simulink is needed:

So my question is, can the Home edition ($150) version of Matlab be used with the BeagleBone Black as described in the video above, and if so, what additional 'Home' packages must be purchased?

I am looking for the answer to this question.

Is there an update since 2016?

Hi @benn nguyen,

The “MATLAB Home” is designed for personal use and does not include all the features available in the professional version. Embedded Coder is not available for the MATLAB Home edition, as it is primarily targeted towards professional and academic users.

However, Embedded Coder is specifically used for generating C and C++ code from Simulink models for deploying algorithms to “BeagleBone Black”.

If your target is to access peripheral devices through “BeagleBone Black”, the “MATLAB Support Package for BeagleBone Black Hardware” can be used which supports acquiring data from sensors and imaging devices connected to “BeagleBone Black”. The support package only requires MATLAB.

Here is the link for the hardware support package.
