Fredrik,
I notice you are planning on using MATLAB/Simulink for simulating transition
diagrams and testing your design. Did you know that if you have Real-Time
Workshop you can generate auto-code for the MindStorm it self without having
to recode or hand code it? It can be done! Check out the following article
at the MathWorks website,
http://www.mathworks.com/products/rtwembedded/ECRobotTarget.pdf
or at the bottom of this page
http://www.mathworks.com/products/rtwembedded/technicalliterature.shtml
The files for this article can be found at

The only issues you might come across is that it is designed for an older
version of legOS and is stated to work only under windows. I am looking at
recreating a similar "target" (what embedded system you are targeting or
generating code for) that supports the newer version of legOS (soon to be
called something else) and on all platforms supported by legOS.
