Training Curriculum

The Raptor Training course is designed to give an understanding of the Raptor Platform in an efficient, hands-on manner. We will start off in the MATLAB/Simulink environment, showing concepts of Raptor-Dev's integration and how to use model based design to your advantage. Once the project is built we will flash the compiled code to the module. Using Raptor-Cal, New Eagle's calibration tool, we will calibrate and test the system.

The topics covered in Raptor Training are listed below.

Training Prerequisites

The following steps should be completed before the Raptor Training course!

Special topics

For on-site training: if you would like Raptor Training to cover any specific topics, please contact us at least 2 weeks prior to training so we can include additional information and examples.

Software Requirements

Follow the instructions below for necessary software installations. More details can be found in the Raptor Getting Started Guide.

Operating System

Windows 7 or later is required.

MATLAB and Simulink

Please Note: MATLAB and Simulink is used throughout training and having a basic understanding of these tools is a necessary requirement for training.

To learn more about MATLAB and Simulink:

MATLAB 2015a or later is recommended. The following tools from MathWorks are required:

  • MATLAB
  • Simulink
  • Embedded Coder
  • MATLAB Coder
  • Simulink Coder

If you don't have all these MathWorks products, we can help procure a temporary MathWorks trial license for you during your training classes. If you would like one, please follow these instructions:

  1. Contact us at least 1 week prior to training indicating you would like a MathWorks trial license for training
  2. We will assign a trial license to you, and you will receive an email when it is available for download
  3. Click the link in the email to download the trial (if you don't have a MathWorks account, set one up at this time)
  4. Proceed through the installation

Raptor-Dev and Raptor-Cal

Raptor-Dev and Raptor-Cal can be downloaded from software.neweagle.net. If necessary, first create an account and wait for the confirmation email (requests may take up to 2 business days to fulfill).

Ensure compatibility between Raptor-Dev and MATLAB using the matrix below.

Raptor Compatibility

After installation of Raptor-Dev, the Raptor Configuration Editor will open (alternatively, open it by navigating to Start > Programs > New Eagle > Raptor Configuration Editor). Use this tool to assign Raptor-Dev to the version of MATLAB used for training.

Once Raptor-Dev and Raptor-Cal are installed, navigate to the New Eagle License Viewer (Start > Programs > New Eagle > New Eagle License Viewer). If necessary, request a trial license by following the instructions below.

  1. Select the settings button
  2. Click 'New License'
  3. Fill out the information, and click submit (requests may take up to 2 business days to fulfill)
  4. Once request is fulfilled, an email will be sent with update instructions (click Update License Online)

Hardware Compiler

The appropriate compiler and associated license will be required.

  • The BCM48, CM0711, CM3626, and CM2115 use the CodeWarrior for MPC55xx/MPC56xx Microcontrollers V2.10 compiler. You can download an evaluation version or purchase the compiler here.
  • The CM3620 uses the IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM 4.42A compiler. To coordinate obtaining an evaluation version of the compiler please contact New Eagle Support.
  • The GCM196 and ECM196 use the Hightec Compiler for the Infineon TriCore architecture v3.4.5.11 compiler. For more information on the GCM196 compiler, and to ensure you get the correct version please contact New Eagle Support.

Kvaser CANKing

Kvaser CANKing is a free, basic CAN bus monitor. To download, go to the Kvaser downloads page at http://www.kvaser.com/support/downloads/. Click on the link to download Kvaser CANKing, and proceed through the installation.
