Activate Application Deployment Feature

Hello, I am trying create target connectivity for TI AWR1642 Boost. I followed the steps from this documentaton Preliminary Steps - MATLAB & Simulink - MathWorks India.

At step 5 where I have to activate the application deployer feature it showed passed in MATLAB, but while deploying using Simulink I am getting this error.

Error:The following error occurred during deployment to your hardware board:

Did you place all the necessary files in the target folder?

[Asim]

Yes, I did.

The deployer feature passed in MATLAB.

Answer 1

[Asim]

The issue was resolved and the code was successfully generated after removing the print status section, which was erroneously accessing an incorrect file.
