Arduino Nano 33 BLE MATLAB(Simulink) Connection Issues

Hi, I'm trying to use my Arduino Nano 33 BLE (NOT Sense) with Simulink. I believe that it is compatible (MATLAB command line recognises it and says it is), although is not listed as an option, so I have been selecting the BLE Sense option. I have gone through the "Set up Hardware" wizard in Simulink, and that works fine, and the test program from that works, however when I try and use a basic model (template, signal generator into pin 13 to flash the onboard LED), it gives the following error:

'The following error occurred during deployment to your hardware board: 
'Unable to create a communication link with the serial port. Please check the input argument PORT and verify that a device is connected.

This is after double checking the COM ports, and making sure I have double pressed the button on the board.

I can use Simulink with my Uno and Nanos, but just cannot quite figure out this Nano 33 BLE.

I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

I am using R2022a.

Thanks!

Hi Nathan,

As per my understanding you are facing error while creating a communication link with the serial port using Arduino Nano 33 BLE.

You can resolve the issue by deleting the configuration for the device and re-adding it.

Refer to the following steps to get the issue resolved:

1) Download Arduino IDE: https://www.arduino.cc/en/software

2) In Arduino IDE, navigate to Tools > Board > Boards Manager. Search for "Arduino SAMD Boards (32-bits ARM Cortex-M0+)" and install it in the IDE

3) Reset the board and try again in Simulink.

How is it possible to reset the Board with IDE?
