External Mode over Serial Communication

Hello,

I use a Texas Instruments F28335 ControlCARD with CCS v5. I've configured everything in Matlab to create C-Code for the Controller.

Now, I want to use the External Mode over Serial Communication (USB). There is a good help in the Matlab Documentation help

I follow the instruction, but at point four I can't go on:

"4. Navigate to the Coder Target > Groups > External mode"

I have no subitem "external mode"!

What is the reason for that? Is there any step in the instruction or any toolbox missing?

Additional:

I've a student license with the following toolboxes:

Can anybody help me???

MATLAB Student Version licenses are not permitted to use the code generation toolboxes such as MATLAB Coder. You should not have been able to get the Code Generation menu with a Student Version license.

Is it possible that you are running on an Academic License instead of a Student Version license?
