Is there some limitation on overall number of Simulink named lines / signals that FreeMaster allows inside an MBDT build? Note that I have not declared these signals as viewable variables, they are simply named because they will then go into a bus.
I'm seeing some strange behaviour where the software that I flash seems to work on the processor (I can verify the operation of button to control LEDs), it frequently connects for the first time, it may even allow me to see variables for about 2 seconds and then the variables turn into question marks. If I remove signals from my model then the connection is fine and I can use FreeMaster, if I add several more signals I find that FreeMaster does not even connect the first time to allow me to pick the ELF file. So I've spend a few hours finding the tipping point basically. Initially I thought it might have been some function or other block but now I'm pretty sure it's to do with number of named signals. . I've verified that I get the failure also if the signals go to a terminator: in other words I don't think it's the number of signals in the bus that is the concern.
I noticed last week that my builds were not connecting and had thought that was down to some blocks I was using like the Simulink "Find" block, so I re-coded that. Build didn't work; so I thought perhaps my counters had too many Integrator or other blocks. Today I thought I would test with simpler functionality, so most of it is just a few simulated inputs and stubbed inputs, constants into a convert block into a bus into a terminator (simple stuff). And it seems fairly directly related that if I add more lines, then at some point FreeMaster does not want to connect properly. I don't know the technical reason for this since I am not declaring them as viewable, they are just internal lines so I would expect to have many many more for a full build. I'm only at 2-5% content of what I plan to include.
I always used the Tools --> Connection Wizard to connect, in the belief that it will pick the best data rate (usually 115200 but have ticked them all). So I've tried different data rates and I don't get any connection.
I can carry on to do my builds (it looks like they run on the processor) but then I cannot verify simple things unless I find a different tool to connect with. If you wish to have more info on the build files then please PM me, thank you.
