Question

Can MATLAB App Designer apps run on STM32MP257 with Yocto?

 Hi,

We are developing a GUI using MATLAB App Designer and want to deploy it on an STM32MP257 running Yocto Linux.

I have a few questions:

  1. Can a standalone app generated by App Designer run on Yocto? Does it need the MATLAB Runtime, and is that supported on Yocto?

  2. What about exporting it as a web app? Can the MATLAB Web App Server run on STM32MP or Yocto?

Any clarification, workarounds, or suggestions for deploying MATLAB-generated applications on STM32MP with Yocto would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Matlab is a 3rd-party product - nothing to do with ST.

You'd need to ask Mathworks that question:

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

    Hi Andrew,

    Thank you for your response.

    I understand that MATLAB is a third-party tool and not directly supported by ST. I just wanted to check if you—or anyone in your team or community—might have worked on something similar, or come across any practical workarounds.

    Specifically, have you seen any successful deployments of MATLAB-generated applications (especially from App Designer) on STM32MP257 or other processors running a Yocto-based Linux environment?

    Any suggestions or guidance—even general direction—on how to proceed with such a deployment would be highly appreciated.

    Thanks again for your time and support!

    I'd have though talking to Mathworks would be the obvious first step?

    They know what their system requirement are - so, at least, they'd be able to tell you what specific questions you need to ask...

     

    BTW:

    Yocto is a tool for creating Linux distributions - you don't run things on Yocto.
