Hi !

Seems like there is issue with the operating system release of your raspberrypi.

Please check Operating System release by typing following command in your raspberrypi.

$ cat /etc/os-release

if the "VERSION_CODENAME" is not stretch, buster or bullseye, then the error is expected because MATLAB Support Package for Raspberrypi Hardware only supports stretch , buster and bullseye debian releases.

if the "VERSION_CODENAME" is stretch, buster or bullseye,

Please feel free to contact our Technical Support if you need further assistance.

Will there be support for "VERSION_CODENAME" bookworm soon?

Hello, I've got same error even the "VERSION_CODENAME" of mine is bullseye.

How can I solve it?

[Brandon]

I have the same issue on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W with bullseye.

For anyone reading this, this is what solved it for me:

I had the 64-bit release installed. Unfortunately, MATLAB is only supported on the 32-bit release. I re-imaged my SD card to 32-bit, and everything worked perfectly.

[Gustavo Liñán Cembrano]

Still not a 64-bit available?

[MathWorks MATLAB Hardware Team]

Currently,MATLAB Support package for the raspberry pi is only supported for 32 bit OS. The support for 64 bit OS is not yet available.

One can check whether the OS version is 32 bit or 64 bit by executing the following commnad in raspberry pi

$uname -m

if the output is aarch64, then MATLAB Support package for raspberry pi will not work.
