Arduino Due with Simulink error

I am trying to connect an Arduino Due to Simulink to run it in external mode. I am unable to successfully deploy to hardware.

I'm testing it with a blinking light model: A pulse generator connected to a digital output pin. This is the error message:

I have the Arduino Due board selected in the settings, with the correct COM port. When running the same model with an Arduino Uno, it works perfectly.

I can connect to the board in the Matlab command window and manually change the pins to HIGH or LOW, so it must be a problem with Simulink.

Any help would be appreciated.

This issue has been fixed in October Support package release published on 22nd Oct 2015. Please update the Simulink Arduino Support package to 15.2.1 version and then try deploying the model.

Previous version: 15.2.0

New Version: 15.2.1
