Software Requirements Questions

What tools from the MathWorks are required for using Raptor?

Check out the Raptor Prerequisites

MATLAB 2013b Freezes on Startup

This is a known issue with Matlab that requires the patch below:

Matlab 2013b Patch

Licensing Questions

How do I know if my license is properly installed?

Run the New Eagle License Viewer tool to display the current status of your New Eagle license.

Why do I get a licensing error when I try to do a Raptor-Dev build?

Ensure your USB license dongle is plugged in and your license is up-to-date. Verify this in the New Eagle License Viewer tool by clicking “Update License Online”.

Raptor Blockset

The Raptor Blocks support many different behaviors including I/O, fault management, calibration, online viewing via calibration tools, and many more.

Compiling & Building Questions

Which compilers are used with Raptor-Dev?

Each Raptor controller datasheet lists the compiler options available for the specific controller. In general, here is the list of compiler vendors for Raptor targets:

  • IAR Assembler for ARM 4.42A (4.42.1.501) for CM3620
  • Freescale CodeWarrior 2.10 for MPC55xx for the CM0711, CM2115, CM3626, and BCM48
  • Codesourcery for VeeCAN displays
  • Hitech HighTec-DP-TC (Tricore) for GCM/ECM196 Bosch controller

Note - Codesourcery download is offered as an option during Raptor-Dev installation.

How do I get a demo or purchase the Raptor compilers?

What is an .rpg file?

An .rpg file uses the Raptor Package file format and contains both the software and calibration data generated during a Raptor-Dev build.

What is an .a2l file?

An .a2l file contains calibration signal information. .a2l files are generated during a Raptor-Dev build and can be loaded and merged using Raptor-Cal.

Where are build files saved?

Build files are saved in C:\ECU.

How long does a Raptor-Dev build take?

Depending on the size of the model being built, Raptor-Dev builds take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes for a complete build.

Programming & Calibration Questions

How can I program a Raptor-Dev software build onto a Raptor control module?

A separate calibration tool must be used to program Raptor-Dev software builds onto Raptor control modules. Customers can choose to user either Raptor-Cal or any tool that follows the XCP protocol.

How can I program a Raptor-Dev software build onto a Raptor display?

Raptor displays are programmed using a USB flash drive. Raptor-Cal can be used to load the software build onto a usb flash drive.

How can I calibrate a module running Raptor-Dev software?

Modules running Raptor-Dev software can be calibrated using the Raptor-Cal calibration tool or any commercial calibration tool that supports the XCP protocol.
