dsPIC Master error

[whatthehack]

Hi,

I'm using Matlab 2007b with Windows7 64. The Installation seemed to be ok. But when I want to choose the Master I always get the Matlab error message:

Error evaluating 'OpenFcn' callback of Master block (mask) 'Master'. Index exceeds matrix dimensions.

I would be glad if someone could tell me what's going wrong.

Which blockset version are you working with ?
Can you compile the files in example directory ? (there is a m script to compile them all at once !)

I installed it with: install_dsPIC_R2007b.

The example all result in the same error after some warnings. I post it for the first example at the end.

In the examples I can open the "Master Block" and change it. If I copy the "Master Block" into my model, it seems to work. But no compilation.

and the important error:

Additionally:

For all the dsPIC33 I tried, I get: No CAN peripheral on ...

For dsPIC30 it works.

You need to set the Code Generation target : simulink configuration, pannel Code Generation, set it to dsPIC or pic32...
a yellow block is capable of configuring the siumlink model automatically if you add it to your model.

Code: Select all

Could you compile without debug mode (K>> mean debug I guess ?) and print out the complete error message ?
It's difficult to make out what's happening there.

In all cases there was set dspic.tlc.

I tried the same with Matlab2007b(32bit) and Matlab2010b (64bit), both on windows7 (64bit). During opening of the model I get a lot of warnings, see:

dsPIC2007b.txt

(7.99 KiB) Downloaded 2424 times

dsPIC2010b.txt

(7.14 KiB) Downloaded 2415 times

In both cases during incremental build for the example Data_Login_Matlab a new info-window opens with an error message:

2007b:
Error building Real-Time Workshop target for block diagram 'Data_Login_Matlab'. MATLAB error message:
Error using ==> make_rtw
Too many output arguments.

2010b:
Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder is not licensed or not installed. The current target is: C:\Program Files\MATLAB\toolbox\dspic\dspic\dspic.tlc

And in both cases for dspic33fj128gp802 (or other pic33) I get no CAN

[LubinKerhuel]

don't pay attention to warning message at model opening.

I do not understand the message you obtain on matlab 2007b.

Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder is not licensed or not installed. The current target is: C:\Program Files\MATLAB\toolbox\dspic\dspic\dspic.tlc

You need to have Embedded Coder installed on matlab to have the dsPIC blockset work. dsPIC blockset works on top of RTW Embedded Coder.

Maybe, you do not have also Embedded Coder on matlab 2007b ?

Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder is not licensed or not installed. The current target is: C:\Program Files\MATLAB\toolbox\dspic\dspic\dspic.tlc

is the error message with 2010b.

I have the RTW coder for both versions

Real-Time Workshop Version 7.0 (R2007b)

Real-Time Workshop Version 7.6 (R2010b)

My dSpace-System works fine with both versions

[LubinKerhuel]

There is
Real Time Workshop and
Real Time Workshop Embedded Coder (renamed Embedded Coder on last matlab version)

RTW EC works on top of RTW. In other word, you need them both.
Do you have RTW Embedded Coder ?

Dear Lubin,

I have to apologize. I didn't check this . For what reason ever the embedded coder was not installed. Now it is!

Now principally everything works fine but in the examples Data_Login_Matlab, Servo_ADC, Servo_Sinus I get the following error:

Servo_ADC_main.c:34: error: syntax error before numeric constant
Servo_ADC_main.c: In function '_FICD':
Servo_ADC_main.c:36: error: syntax error before '{' token
gmake: *** [Servo_ADC_main.o] Error 255

And very important for me too: How do I get the CAN-Interface with an 33fj128gp802?

Thanks a lot
Peter

Well, I think I found the reason for the compiler error. It seems that from mplabc30 v3.25 to v3.30 the name of FICD changed to ICD (but only for dsp30f3xxx up to 6xxx ).

Remains 1 problem for me at the moment: no CAN for my dsp33.

[LubinKerhuel]

This is correct.

ICD will turn back to FICD in next Microchip compiler (v3.31) comming soon.
Thus I do not correct this problem for now.

Lubin

[LubinKerhuel]

Compiler C30 v3.31 is released.
Blockset were updated accordingly. Download latest blockset version (3.7c) with the C30 compiler v3.31.

Everything should be Ok now.
