Matlab cannot find SD card - Support Package for Raspberry Pi

12 views (last 30 days)
Hi, I am struggling with installation Support Package for Raspberry Pi process. Matlab cannot find my SD Card even if windows does. I tried internal SD port in my workstation and external one (SD to USB) in all usb ports. Every time I am able to open SD cart, format it, copy and delete files in windows, but Matlab still cannot find SD card. Do you have suggestions?

The support on here for the issue with Simulink and matlab is rubbish to be honest,it pure guess work with no straight answer. As soon as a new OS update comes through like windows 10 everyting stops working.. this cant be right!!

Well, if someone wants to send me an Raspberry Pi... and an SD card of the same make and size (in case make turns out to be important)... and a PC with appropriate hardware slots... and at least 5 times as many hours in the day... and better health... and all the applicable source code...
The volunteers do what they can. For non-rubbish answers you should create a Technical Support case with Mathworks.

Problem solved: Start MATLAB using "Run as administrator"

Running as administrator resolved GUI not finding SD card on R2016A Win7. Not exactly sure when (version) when running as admin became necessary.

Leaving the Support Package Installer running, restarting the main Matlab window (as administrator) and running the "targetupdater" command did the trick for me. Thanks to Daron Berger.

The SD card will contain the program that is used to communicate between MATLAB and the raspberry

Good evening, I got the same problem with the SD card on Matlab. Matlab couldn't find my SD Card even if windows did. So, I runned Matlab as administrator and Matlab detected my SD card. But, it isn't possible to write on it, I got this error : "Error writing firmware to the memory card: An error occurred while locking the SD card volume. An error occurred while unlocking the SD card volume". Meanwhile, my SD card is unlocked, so I don't understand.

that problem occurs if wmic is not found. Try following steps
1. right click on my computer and go to properties.
2. click on advance system setting and open environment variable
3. Create new system variable name "path" and variable path "C:\Windows\System32\wbem;"
4. Restart your system and retry the Raspberry Pi settings from MATLAB-->manage add-on option
