NIVeriStand.tlc S-Function obj file not found

NIVeriStand.tlc S-Function obj file not found

‎10-11-2017 02:01 PM

Hi,

 

I'm working on a matlab block that calls C code through the use of S-Function. In the mdl file, the function is declared like that :

 

[...]
System {
    Name "rtlab_phasor"
    [...]
    Block {
        BlockType S-Function
        Name "Solver"
        [...]
        FunctionName "OpIRTS"
    [...]

(I omitted some fields for brevity).

Now I want to plug that block in a simulink model to interact with it, then incorporate it on Veristand 2017.

 

Now here is my configuration for code generation, the solver is setup ton Fixed-step and discrete

Now comes the time to generate the code and build the dll file. Except the makefile is looking for a .obj file of my S-Function that is nowhere to be found, and crashes at linking time. The problem is that the .obj file is not generated by the tlc, and I'm completely lost. 

I can find that .obj file in my compiled S-Function, but the makefile deletes everytime it builds.

 

Is there a way to link my S-Function as said a library? Static or dynamic?

 

Here's the log of the compilation

How am I supposed to supply OpIRTS.obj if it gets deleted at each build, and is not built by the makefile?

Hi szeni,

 

I'd like to continue working with you through the Service Request you've created. If anyone on the forums has any input on this, feel free to reply!

 

Otherwise, if we come to some resolution or workaround, I'm sure others would appreciate it if you could post our conclusion here.

hello

 

I got the same issue with matlab 2017a and Veristand 2018.

Please can you tell me if you have succed to compil your model with S function ?

 

thanks

Hi all,

 For future reference - if there's an S-function in the model, it has to be run through MEX before model compilation. So at first compile all the s-functions with MEX, then compile the model.

 It happened also to me - I used C S-functions in the model, the sources were in the folder, but the model compilation failed complaining about lack of the S-function. Turned out that after running the source through MEX, it worked.
