Colon operation in fixed-point

I am writing a function in 2020b that I then want to convert into fixed-point using the tool. I am defining some arrays by the colon operation, however when i use variables in the colon it does not like it. Yet using the exactly same numbers as numbers and not variables the tool says no and that it must be a fi or constant object. Why is this and how can i fix it?

MATLAB HDL Coder workflow does support colon operator during fixed-point conversion and code generation. Please share a sample design file dut.m, testbench.m (caling dut) and a project file with fixed-point conversion settings.

Support for colon exists with fixed-point types according to documentation. https://www.mathworks.com/help/fixedpoint/ref/colon.html
Please reach out to https://www.mathworks.com/support.html for additional help specific to your usecase.

fi colon integer values only
Strategy to generalize fi colon
The following function shows a strategy for getting colon behavior that will work with fi objects.
The key idea is create an integer valued vector [0, 1, 2, ... n-1].
Then multiply by a scalar and add a scalar to produce the desired colon-style vector.
function y = colonAlternative(uLo,uSpacing,uHi)
%colonAlternative alternative to colon due to fi restrictions with colon
% fi colon operator
% lo:spacing:hi
% requires the all three arguments
% lo
% spacing
% hi
% to have integer values
%
% To work around this create an integer valued vector
% then multiply by the desired spacing
% and add the desired starting point if it is not zero
% Conceptually
% fiIntegerVec = (0:(nPts-1));
% finalVec = fiAnchor + fiIntegerVec.*fiSpacing
%
uDelta = uHi - uLo;
nPtsMinusOne = round( uDelta/uSpacing );
integerVec = 0:nPtsMinusOne;
y = uLo + (uSpacing .* integerVec);
end
Compatible Example for Fixed-Point Converter
The attached design file fiColonLookupV2.m and its associated testbench file test_fiColonLookupV2.m are compatible with Fixed-Point Converter. Use of the strategy shown makes sure that only integer valued fi objects are fed to the colon operator's operands.
