Installation, Configuration, and Test Troubleshooting
The following are some issues you might encounter with xPC Target when
trying to set up.
Troubleshooting xpctest Results
This section assumes that you have read the “Testing and Troubleshooting the
Installation” section of the xPC Target getting started documentation.
xpctest: Test 1 Fails. First, perform the procedure described in the “Test 1, Ping
Target System Standard Ping” section of the xPC Target getting started
documentation.
Note You can ignore this section if you are using a serial connection. Test 1 is
skipped for serial connections.
If you are using a TCP/IP connection and need more help with Test 1, check the
following:
• Be sure to use a supported Ethernet card on the target PC. The following
Ethernet controllers are supported:
- Intel 82559 based cards
- Intel 82559ER based cards
- Intel 82550 based cards
- NE2000 based cards
- AMD lance 79C971(RTLANCE) based cards
- SMC91C9X based cards
See “Ethernet Chips Supported by xPC Target” in Chapter 2 of the Getting
Started with xPC Target documentation for further details.
• Verify that your hardware is operating correctly. For example, check for
faulty network cables and other hardware.
• If you run
xpctest from a UNC network directory, such as
\\Server\user\work, a workaround is to change the current MATLAB
directory to a local directory and run the test again.
