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

Hi,

I'm trying to get started with the UAV Toolbox Support Package for PX4 Autopilot. I have previously managed to get it started with SITL using jMAVsim. Now I want to get started with HITL. I'm trying to use the basic "Code Generation Template" and just build that with nothing changed on my Cube Orange. I have followed this guide for setting it up with Cube Orange: https://se.mathworks.com/help/supportpkg/px4/ug/deployment-cube-orange-autopilot-simulink.html with the only difference being I run it on Ubuntu 20.04 instead of Windows.

But when I try to use build and deploy I get the following error:

Top model targets built:

Does anyone know the reason for my error?

I am not able to see the error. The field looks blank. Can you please add the error message?

[Søren]

@Arun Mathamkode sorry for the late response, I had the flu over Christmas.

Can you see the error now? I don't know why it didn't show up last time.

This issue is most likely due to GCC unable to find a package while compilation in your Ubuntu 20.04 installation. There are workarounds in Ubuntu forum to resolve this but none of them are guranteed and full-proof.

While we investigate the issue, can you try a simple workaround in your MATLAB? Run the below command in MATLAB command window immediately after launch and try building the Simulink model.

setpref('MW_PX4_Build','FullFirmwareBuild',true)

This command will do the full PX4 Firmware build and the make will pull in the required packages and hence you should not see the issue.
