Cant build model for arduino via Simulink

I've recently installed the "Simulink Support Package for Arduino Hardware", and tried to do the "getting started" basic model with the led blinking.

But when i try to deploy the model on my board, i get this error :

If anyone got the same problem and resolved it i'll be really grateful !

Hi Hugo Hebert,

I understand that you are getting an error when trying to deploy the model onto the Arduino board.

Upon reviewing the error logs/message, I found that the issue is with the file path or permissions when trying to deploy the model. The following steps might help in resolving the error

• Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to write to the directory “C:\Users\33687\Desktop\1-ESTACA\Matlab_test\first_step_ert_rtw”. You might need to run MATLAB as an administrator.
• Sometimes, long file paths can cause issues. Move your project to a directory with a shorter path, such as “C:\MATLAB\Projects\first_step”.
• Delete the contents of the build folder “first_step_ert_rtw” and try building the model again. This helps if there are any corrupted files.
• Ensure that there is enough disk space available on your drive.
• Reset the MATLAB path and cache to ensure there are no path issues. Run the following commands in the MATLAB Command Window:

 restoredefaultpath;
 rehash toolboxcache;
 savepath;

• Restart MATLAB after running these commands.

Below documentation link provides step by step procedure for building the LED Blinking example.
