Using remoteBuild to build on Linux (Beagleboard-XM/Angstrom target)

Hi all,

I have a problem with remoteBuild and building my Simulink model on my Beagleboard-XM running the Angstrom Linux distribution.

The tutorial I followed is here: http://www.mathworks.com/help/toolbox/ecoder/ug/bszt677-1.html

My problem is that once I call remoteBuild(), MATLAB returns the following error:

 remoteBuild(s.buildInfo, '/home/root', '192.168.137.226', 'root', '', 'C:\Program Files\PuTTY')
### Adding sources to archive

Error in ==> remoteBuild at 123 executeRemoteCommand(cmd, true);

I opened the remoteBuild *.m file and read the command being sent to the target as the following:

 make -C /home/root/ertModel_eclipseide -f _ertModel.mk build

which is received by the target.

I think it has something to do with the makefile but I'm not sure what to do.

Has anyone come across this problem too?

Regards,

Frazer

p.s. I also have the full gcc toolchain installed on the target, so I don't think that's the problem either.

Perhaps you could look into the generated makefile _ertModel.mk and see how the "cc" commands are specified, and whether there could be cause for error?

Hi Frazer,

I had same problem. I was using kernel 2.6.31.But Mathworks supports only to Kernel 2.6.29.Try that one.

You might take a look at the new Simulink support for BeagleBoard hardware. Keep in mind that installing this support automatically installs a customized version of Ubuntu on the BeagleBoard.
