Embedded IDE Link™ TS

General Issues

Problems with Installations in Read-Only Locations

Building models works correctly when Embedded IDE Link™ TS software is installed in read-only location because the template projects are copied to the working directory during the build process. However, installing Embedded IDE Link TS software in a read-only location (e.g. read-only network) causes the following problems:

• Template project generation fails because the function tasking_generate_templates attempts to write to the installation location.

• Opening existing template projects may fail because the TASKING EDE attempts to write to the installation location.

To resolve this issue:

• Do not install Embedded IDE Link TS software in a read-only location

• Avoid updating or opening the template projects or temporarily allow write access to the read-only installation location while doing so.

• Create new template projects in a writable location rather than attempting to update the default template projects.

Simulink^® Configuration Set Reference Not Supported

The Simulink^® Configuration Set Reference feature is not supported by Embedded IDE Link TS software.

For Embedded IDE Link TS software, make sure your model's configuration set objects are "Simulink.ConfigSet" objects and not "Simulink.ConfigSetRef" objects.

Serialization of Embedded IDE Link™ TS Objects Not Supported

Serialization (saving and loading to MATLAB^® .mat file) of the objects provided with Embedded IDE Link TS software (e.g., tasking.edeapi, tasking.xviewapi) is not possible. If you attempt to load a serialized object from a .mat file you may see the Target Preferences Configuration Selection GUI, warning or error messages, or both.

In some circumstances, a product (for example System Test) or a user script may automatically save all contents of the MATLAB base workspace to a .mat file. In this case, it may be useful to turn off the "Export Handles" settings in the Embedded IDE Link TS configuration set component. Doing so stops EDE and CrossView Pro objects from being exported to the base workspace at the end of a Embedded IDE Link TS build process and thus avoids potential serialization problems.
