Why do I receive Code generation information file does not exist?

Hi,

I'm trying to get started with the Arduino Support Package for Simulink to deploy a Deep Learning Neural Network on my Arduino Nano 33BLE. The aim is to conduct a Scientific Research on various EdgeAI frameworks and compare them for evaluation of their use-cases. In this case, I'm trying to build a basic LED blink Simulink model but I'm getting the error, gmake: *** [all] Error 2. I tried locating the gcc compiler at the location:

C:/ProgramData/MATLAB/SupportPackages/R2024a/aCLI/data/packages/tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc/7-2017q4/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc

But actually there's no folder Tools in the Packages folder. I searched for arm-none-eabi-gcc in the aCLI folder and there are multiple folders of such name in: aCLI\data\packages\arduino\tools\arm-none-eabi-gcc and aCLI\tools\arm-none-eabi-gcc.

I've attached here the whole Diagnostic log for the Model Build:

Hi Rohitashva,

I understand that you are facing some errors while deploying a neural network on an Arduino Nano 33BLE.

This issue arises due to the firewall blocking certain installation commands, resulting in the improper installation of some components.

To bypass this problem, you can follow the steps below:

1. Download the necessary support package files.
2. Navigate to the Arduino IDE instruction set zip file located at "\Downloads\Mathworks\SupportPackages\<MATLAB Release>\archives\win64\3p" and replace the existing "arduinoide.instrset_win64_1580182653.zip" file with the one provided in this answer. Ensure to rename it to "arduinoide.instrset_win64_1580182653.zip".
3. After replacing the file, repackage the zip file and proceed with a silent installation.

The modification made to the new zip file involves deleting specific lines that facilitated communication with an Arduino server within the file located at "Downloads\Mathworks\SupportPackages\R2019b\archives\win64\3p\arduinoide.instrset_win64_1580182653\toolbox\local\instrset\arduinoide.instrset\win64.xml". The lines removed are from line 23 to line 97.

Hope this helps!

Hi Neha,

Thank you for your response!

I could not find the ZIP file you mentioned anywhere on my PC, but, instead found a folder "arduinoide.instrset" at: "C:\ProgramData\MATLAB\SupportPackages\R2024a\appdata\3p\win64\arduinoide.instrset". It contains a "arduinoide.instrset_install_info" file. That's the only thing I could find relevant to the name of the ZIP file.

Should I copy the ZIP file you provided there?

[Rohitashva]

Update on the response:

I replaced the necessary support package file with the one provided in your response, But the error persisted. I even uninstalled Matlab deleted all its support packages and cache, and reinstalled this time with Windows security completely disabled but still the same error. After the reinstallation I again tried replacing the support package file but no success so far.

Any suggestions?

[Rohitashva]

Another update:

Simulink is trying to access the gcc and g++ compilers at the location C:/ProgramData/MATLAB/SupportPackages/R2024a/aCLI/data/packages/tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc/7-2017q4/bin/ but this path doesn't exist. Instead, the compilers are located at C:\ProgramData\MATLAB\SupportPackages\R2024a\aCLI\tools\arm-none-eabi-gcc\7-2017q4\bin\. I tried changing the search location from the Matlab command window but didn't work. So instead I copy-pasted the Tools folder at C:/ProgramData/MATLAB/SupportPackages/R2024a/aCLI/data/packages/ and it worked. There were no more errors and the Simulink built and deployed the project successfully.

I'm aware its not the best approach but will it give me any problems in the future?
