How to prepare / What to bring to training
The training class requires a student to bring a laptop with several software installations. There is a somewhat complex compatibility maze. The following lists the software requirements and any relevant compatibility notes. Please install software in the order listed.
Operating System
- Windows (XP, Vista, or 7) is required
- If Windows installation is 64bit, MotoHawk 2010aSP0 or later is required
MathWorks
Required installations:
- MATLAB
- Simulink
- Stateflow (optional, but highly recommended)
- MATLAB Coder (new for MATLAB2011a)
- Simulink Coder (formerly Real Time Workshop + Stateflow Coder)
- Embedded Coder (formerly Real Time Workshop Embedded Coder + others)
- Required before training (MathWorks distributes trial downloads and licenses)
- If MATLAB installation is 64bit, MotoHawk 2010bSP0 or later is required. Also the lcc compiler (typically included with 32bit MATLAB installations) is not included. Here is a list of Supported Compilers

MotoHawk Introduction Agenda
3rd Party Training Testimonials
"Thank you very much for inviting and hosting me at the MotoHawk training course this week. It was a tremendous experience, and a truly generous deed on your part for which I am very grateful. I learned a ton, and I was pleasantly surprised by just how much I learned, particularly in terms of the mechatronic implementation aspects. After sleeping on it for a night, it really seems remarkable how much ground we covered. Your instructor is a fantastic instructor who has an amazing command of the material, and I was very impressed by his ability and efficiency to communicate the sheer volume in a relatively short time. His case descriptions of the Grand Challenge and autonomous boat activities were fascinating to me, particularly in terms of the time scales in which they were done, and that even DARPA was similarly impressed. It is also interesting for me to contrast where my career has focused much more on just the modeling and algorithm side, and how apropos for me to think of the “throwing over the fence” syndrome and how MotoHawk removes that barrier. That was for me the true strength of your products.
The other aspect that I wanted to share with you is just how friendly and hospitable everyone has been that I have met at New Eagle, in all my contacts and communications. It appears to be infectious in only the best way, and I can only hope that some of that rubbed off on me. I can’t think of anywhere I have worked or done business that took it to such a great extent. I feel like I made some new friends at New Eagle, and have to say that I was very pleased by the entire experience, and look forward to future interactions, whatever they may be.
