Embedded Coder for PX4: problem with building the firmware; RuntimeError StopIteration

Question

0 votes

Hi,

so I have just downloaded the 'Embedded Coder Support Package for PX4 Autopilot' so that I can model the controller for my Pixhawk 2 (and eventually my Pixhawk 4). I've followed the guide in downloading the toolchain for Linux, downloading the source code, etc. It just happened to me that I couldn't get my Firmware for Pixhawk 2.1 Cube built (nuttx_px4_fmu-v3_default). The Hardware Setup says it's the firmware was done built but no px4 file was created (which I find really irritating). I tried building for v2 and it worked; unfortunately not the same can be said for v3 and v5.

I tried to do some troubleshooting, I can see that it always raised a RuntimeError StopIteration exception. The log is also posted below.

Can anybody help me out? Thanks in advance!

My specs are:

Host OS: Linux Ubuntu 19.04

gcc 8.3.0

python 3.7.3

MATLAB 2019b

The Embedded Code Package up to date (19.2.1)
