Demo: EHANDBOOK Container-Build Toolbox for Simulink

The official demo for the EHANDBOOK Container-Build Toolbox for Simulink is available in the EHANDBOOK Container-Build demos repository:

https://github.com/EHANDBOOK/ehandbook-cb-demos

This is currently the only official demo available for the toolbox. It serves as a reference implementation for using the toolbox to generate EHANDBOOK containers from Simulink models.

What’s included

The Demo_EHBCB_AddOn_SL_Toolbox demo contains:

  • Three example Simulink models: Each model represents an individual ECU function, demonstrating how the toolbox handles multiple functions

  • Simulink library: A shared library used across all three models, showing how the toolbox supports Simulink libraries

  • Documentation: Complete README with step-by-step instructions for using the toolbox with these models

  • Pre-built containers: Generated .ehb files for immediate exploration in EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR

    Multiple EHANDBOOK Containers Loaded in EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR with Function Overview
    Multiple EHANDBOOK Containers with Textual Documentation View

Key features demonstrated

The demo illustrates:

  • Generating EHANDBOOK containers directly from Simulink models using the toolbox

  • Working with shared Simulink libraries in your models

  • Handling multi-function ECU projects with the toolbox

  • Integration with EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR for exploring generated containers

Prerequisites

Before running the demo, make sure you have:

  • EHANDBOOK Container-Build Toolbox for Simulink installed

  • EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR installed

  • MATLAB/Simulink (R2021a or later) - optional, for regenerating containers

  • Git - for cloning the repository

ETAS offers time-limited evaluations for EHANDBOOK products via license.etas.com.

Getting started with the demo

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/EHANDBOOK/ehandbook-cb-demos.git
cd ehandbook-cb-demos/Demo_EHBCB_AddOn_SL_Toolbox

Explore the pre-built containers

  1. Open the Output/ folder

  2. Open any of the pre-built .ehb files in EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR

  3. Explore the generated interactive models to see what the toolbox produces

Generate containers from the example models

If you have MATLAB/Simulink installed:

  1. Follow the README instructions in the demo directory

  2. Open the Simulink models to see the source

  3. Use the toolbox to generate containers from these models

  4. Compare your generated containers with the pre-built examples

Additional EHB-CB Demos

The repository contains 30+ additional demos for the EHANDBOOK Container-Build framework covering various scenarios and technologies. For information about these demos and other EHB-CB documentation, see:

EHANDBOOK Container-Build Demos

These cover mixed-model integration, C-Code workflows, AUTOSAR, ASAM-based approaches, and other advanced scenarios beyond the Toolbox for Simulink.
