MBDT S32K makefile error in example program -- GPIO ISR

[neffnan]

Hi y'all,

I'm trying to build the example model "gpio_isr_control_s32k144.slx" in the MBDT examples. I keep getting a cryptic error, which is a problem with the makefile. Since the tool builds the makefile, not I, I don't see how to fix it. My model configuration settings are those that have worked without errors on the LED and push buttons model. 

The error is:

C:\gpio_isr_control_mbd_rtw>set MATLAB=C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2020a C:\gpio_isr_control_mbd_rtw>"C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2020a\bin\win64\gmake" -f gpio_isr_control.mk COPY_MDLREF_INCLUDES=0 GENERATE_ERT_S_FUNCTION=0 INCLUDE_MDL_TERMINATE_FCN=1 COMBINE_OUTPUT_UPDATE_FCNS=1 MULTI_INSTANCE_CODE=0 INTEGER_CODE=0 ISPROTECTINGMODEL=NOTPROTECTING OPTS="-DTID01EQ=0" gpio_isr_control.mk:570: *** target pattern contains no `%'. Stop. Error(s) encountered while building "gpio_isr_control"

Can anybody help?

Thanks much.

Nancy

PS: I take it back. Now I get the same error in building my GPIO LED model, so I guess it's something in my environment rather than the model?

Probably a corrupted MBDT toolbox. I deleted and reinstalled the .mltbx file, and the problem has disappeared -- every model I've tried since the reinstall is building successfully (or has a different problem :-).

Hello @neffnan ,

Thank you very much for posting the solution on the thread you've opened!

This way we can help other that are facing the same behavior!

Best regards,

Hi again, Marius.

Oy. I added the NXP board configuration block for the S32K144EVB to my tiny no-NXP model, and it built without error. Then I added a GPIO write block, enabled, to turn on the LED, and it built without error but wouldn't download. At this point I went back to one of the models that had been failing with the % error message, and it built and downloaded. The model that started the % error problem now builds and downloads just fine, without my having changed a thing in that model, configuration, anything.

I don't understand why this problem comes and goes like this. Any ideas?

(BTW, I feel like we need to figure this out. Uninstalling, re-installing, and building and testing various models, all cost the company I'm working for several hundred dollars of my time, so it's not going to be a trivial problem from their perspective.)

Thanks,

Nancy

Hi @mariuslucianand Marius,

The problem has returned -- none of my models are building successfully, and it's always with the error about a missing %:

C:\flexcan_and_fm_over_can_s32k14x_mbd_rtw>set MATLAB=C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2020a C:\flexcan_and_fm_over_can_s32k14x_mbd_rtw>"C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2020a\bin\win64\gmake" -f flexcan_and_fm_over_can_s32k14x.mk COPY_MDLREF_INCLUDES=0 GENERATE_ERT_S_FUNCTION=0 INCLUDE_MDL_TERMINATE_FCN=1 COMBINE_OUTPUT_UPDATE_FCNS=1 MULTI_INSTANCE_CODE=0 INTEGER_CODE=0 ISPROTECTINGMODEL=NOTPROTECTING OPTS="-DTID01EQ=0" flexcan_and_fm_over_can_s32k14x.mk:570: *** target pattern contains no `%'. Stop. Error(s) encountered while building "flexcan_and_fm_over_can_s32k14x"

I have uninstalled and re-installed the NXP MBD toolbox three times now, and the error persists. I put in a trouble ticket with MathWorks and they said they couldn't reproduce the problem and that it's an NXP problem. I built a small model without any NXP blocks, and it did indeed build successfully -- no makefile errors.

What do I do now?

Thanks.

Nancy
