Why do I receive an "Invalid Simulink object specifier" error with Embedded Target for TI C6000 DSP 2.4 (R14SP3) when building an OUT-file with the CCS profiler enabled?

When I generate code from my model, if the profiler is turned off, then there is no error and OUT-file builds just fine. However, if the profiler is turned on via the check flag

"Configuration Parameters -> Real-Time Workshop -> TIC6000 code generation -> Profile performance at atomic subsystem boundaries", I receive the following error

 Error in ti_profreport.m:  Error using ==> get_param

 Invalid Simulink object specifier.

This is expected behavior. This problem manifests itself when you have more than one model open and click on a different model while the code generation for TIC6000 target is in progress.

While generating code for a TIC6000 model, do not click on any other model. Profiler accesses the MDL-file during the build process and uses the GCS command to reference the model. Clicking on a different model during the build process, therefore may result in an error.

Follow the procedure below to avoid the problem:

1. Click on the TIC6000 target model to be compiled.

2. Press Ctrl+B. While the code generation is in progress, do not click on any

other model and wait for the completion of the code generation.
