How can I have LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Hardware support in Matlab 2010a?

I've been trying to use Lego Mindstorms to teach modeling and control, but I can't make simulink to recognize Lego Mindstorms. In Matlab I can connect the robot via bluetooth (but not USB), and it works. But when trying to use Simulink, I can't use targetinstaller or install it from the block. Is there a way to do it? Or a older release that I can use?

I will appreciate any information about solving this problem. Thanks in advance..

Look in the File Exchange

Simulink's built-in support for LEGO was first available in R2012a. See http://www.mathworks.com/academia/lego-mindstorms-nxt-software/legomindstorms-simulink.html for more information. HTH. -Stephen

Right. And for versions before R2012a, there is

There is also this summary of prior release support: http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/en/data/1-JEG9V1/index.html
