Where to Download MotoHawk
MotoHawk can be downloaded from the Downloads section of the Woodward MCS Website. You will need to Register for an account and then be given access to download permissions. MotoHawk can also be downloaded from Woodward's main website, Woodward.com. At the top pulldown menu select Support, then Software, and enter MotoHawk in the Search field. Registration is also required to download the software, but access is immediate.
Here's a list of all the Wiki articles about MotoHawk. Here is a listing of Wiki MotoHawk block help, by category.
MotoHawk Blockset Help
You can find the help documentation for the MotoHawk library below, or by searching by block name. See: MotoHawk Blockset Help
Design Principles
As a developer of MotoHawk, these are the fundamental rules that must be obeyed. It is a mission statement of sorts that drives the high quality, flexibility and consistency of MotoHawk. It also illustrates the direction of our technology as we strive to improve our tool.
All input/output ports are integer types
With many different module types and interfaces, it is possible to have modules that do not support floating point. Therefore all edges to the OS must have integer types.
All blocks are as complicated as they need to be
Due the variation in applications developed by MotoHawk, developers want to use different behaviors in vastly different ways. Therefore, blocks that overcomplicate a basic behavior are not desired.
MATLAB-version independent
MotoHawk versions have been designed so that they work with all versions of MATLAB, 6.5.1 to the current. Beginning with MotoHawk 2009a, support for older MATLAB versions is being discontinued. See table below for MotoHawk / MATLAB version support:

Toolchain independent
Beginning with MotoHawk 2009b, alpha level support for GCC is included in MotoHawk. GCC is considered Alpha level in 2009b and 2010a, and Beta forward.
For more information, see Using GCC with MotoHawk.
64-Bit
MotoHawk Versions Prior to 2010a Do Not Support 64-Bit Windows, Windows 7, or 64-Bit Matlab.
Support for 64-bit Windows 7 was added in MotoHawk 2010a. Only 32-Bit MATLAB is supported by MotoHawk 2010a. 64-Bit Matlab is NOT supported in MH2010a.
64-Bit MATLAB is supported in MotoHawk 2010b and Higher.
Windows 8 is not Currently Supported in any MotoHawk Release.
Windows 7
MotoHawk support for Windows 7 was added in MotoHawk 2010a.
Windows 8
MotoHawk is not currently supported on Windows 8 for any version of MotoHawk. The development team is working on Windows 8 support for a future release.
USB 3.0
Currently, the dongles used to license MotoHawk and MotoTune are not supported in a USB3.0 port. This is an issue with the Windows 7 driver and the USB controller, not with MotoHawk or the licensing. The supplier of the dongle has reported the issue to Intel and is also working on releasing a new driver for the dongles.
For additional information, and work-arounds, please see License Dongles and USB3.0
The MotoHawk Blockset
The MotoHawk Blockset supports many different behaviors including I/O, fault management, calibration, plus many many more. It is a rich set of behaviors available in a palette in Simulink.
