How do I configure my Simulink Real-Time model for Speedgoat hardware in R2024a and later?

I upgraded to MATLAB R2024a and tried to build and run my existing model that I created with a previous release on Speedgoat hardware.

When I have my Speedgoat target connected, I encounter the following error:

Error running 'myModel' on target computer: The selected target 'TargetPC1'
is configured for 'speedgoat.tlc' and does not support 'slrealtime.tlc'.
To build the model 'myModel' change the target or choose a different system target file.

When I have no Speedgoat target connected, I encounter the following error:

Error using slrealtime.internal.build.BuildHooksImpl.setup
    To build model, configure Simulink Real-Time model for target computer platform.
    Open Target Platform Selector and select a target computer platform.

In R2024a, a new 'speedgoat.tlc' system target file was introduced that ships as part of Speedgoat I/O Blockset. This means your existing real-time models must be configured to use 'speedgoat.tlc' instead of the previous 'slrealtime.tlc' system target file, and that building real-time application MLDATX files is no longer possible without a Speedgoat I/O Blockset installation.

Use one of the following 3 options to configure your Simulink Real-Time model for Speedgoat in R2024a and later:

 

Option 1: Use 'configureModelForTargetPlatform'

If you have a Speedgoat target connected to your development computer which is configured for R2024a with the Speedgoat I/O Blockset, you can use the command:

>> tg = slrealtime;
>> tg.configureModelForTargetPlatform('myModel');

And then save the model. This command ensures the model settings match the current target. See:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/slrealtime/api/slrealtime.target.configuremodelfortargetplatform.html

.

Option 2: Apply model settings manually

Apply the settings manually in the Model Settings:

• Under Solver > Solver selection, set 'Type' to 'Fixed-step'
• Under Code Generation > Target selection, set 'System target file' to 'speedgoat.tlc'.

.

Option 3: Use Speedgoat Target Platform Selector tool

You can also launch the Speedgoat Target Platform Selector tool from the REAL-TIME tab in your model as shown in the screenshot below:

Currently, the changes to the model settings are identical, no matter which Speedgoat real-time target machine (Baseline, Performance, etc) is selected. This may change in the future.
