To run the Pi OpenECU software with MATLAB and Simulink, you will need an IBM-compatible PC with the minimum specifications listed below. These specifications are the same as those for running MATLAB:
CPU: a modern Intel or AMD x86 32-bit or 64-bit processor.
RAM: 2 GiB minimum, but more recommended (larger models will require more RAM).
Free hard disk space: 2 GiB.
Peripheral hardware: keyboard, mouse, DVD/CD-ROM drive (for installation from CD media), at least 8-bit graphics adapter and display (for at least 256 colours).
Either the physical system or a system simulator, is ultimately required to test and calibrate your ECU and the system model you have created to run on it. A suitable Calibration/reprogramming communications tool is also required conforming to the ASAP2 standard.
