pysimCoder is a Rapid Prototyping application, that can be used to generate realtime code for different targets.
At present it is possible to generate code for Linux (with or without preempt-rt) on PC and Raspberry PI, for the BRIKI card (partially on the SAMD21 uC, see www.meteca.org) and for the NuttX RTOS.
The behaviour is similar to other RPC applications like Simulink and XCos.
Despite the fact that the main purpose of pysimCoder is to generate RT control code, it is also possible to perfom simple simulations mixing continous time and discrete time blocks.
A Virtual Machine (Virtual Box) is available. Please write to me to get the address and password to download it.
It is also possible to get a docker image with pysimCoder using
docker pull robertobucher/pysimcoder

Launch application
pysimCoder
It is now possible to use a docker container and image to run pysimCoder:
Install docker (see https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/).
Download a pysimCoder image directly from the Docker Container page:
docker pull robertobucher/pysimcoder:latest
or
docker pull robertobucher/pysimcoder:novnc
The first image can be launched with
$ docker run --rm --env="DISPLAY" --net=host -v $XAUTHORITY:/tmp/.XAuthority -e XAUTHORITY=/tmp/.XAuthority robertobucher/pysimcoder:latest
At the prompt launch
psc
The second image (pysimcoder:novnc) runs from a web browser:
$ docker run --rm -it -p 8080:8080 robertobucher/pysimcoder:novnc
Open a browser and go to http://<server>:8080/vnc.html
In the terminal launch
psc
