Error on compilation of example "Getting Started with Embedded Coder Support Package for BeagleBone Black Hardware"

I am using the example from this link: http://www.mathworks.com/help/supportpkg/beaglebone/examples/getting-started-with-beaglebone-black-support-package.html

The beablebone black is properly configured and connected

 bbb = beaglebone_black

 bbb = 

beaglebone_black with properties:

    DeviceAddress: '192.168.7.2'
             Port: 22

When I try do deploy the example I got this error:

Any idea how to fix it?

Thanks and best regards,

Hello, have you finally fix it? If you finally fix it I would like to know how please. Thanks.

This issue is caused by an incompatibility between the Linaro Toolchain 4.8 (which uses GCC 4.8) and the Debian 8.3 image which was built using GCC 4.9. To resolve this issue, you can download the previous version of the firmware (Debian 7.9) to your BeagleBone Black. The image can be downloaded from the link below:

BeagleBoard.org Latest Firmware Images

You can then follow the instructions listed on the BeagleBone Black "Getting Started" page (linked below) to create a microSD card that contains the Debian 7.9 image.

Getting Started with BeagleBone & BeagleBone Black

You can then boot the BeagleBone Black with this image. Following the boot, you will need to run the "targetupdater" function in MATLAB. To do this, you can execute the following in the MATLAB Command Window:

>> targetupdater

This will open the "Support Package Installer" target updater. Inside this window, please select the "BeagleBone Black" hardware. You can then follow the instructions to set up the support package. After the target updater completes, you can test your demo model again (link below):

This should compile and run successfully now. Hope this helps.

I've been in the same situation. Problem is that with Debian 7.9, the sound card isn't working. Is there a fix for that? Or let me ask in a different way: Which Debian image works with Simulink 2016b so that all the examples in the getting started tutorial are working? Thanks, Arne

It could be because of the partition of the card. Download SD formatter, and format the card. After that card will work fine.
