I am trying to replicate the simulation results of the event-driven task in external mode. I ran in R2022a. My board is Zedboard. The solver is in fixed step.
After building and running it, it has several warnings, including
Saving external mode simulation output as a single object is not supported because the workspace variable 'out' is not created during model code execution. To suppress the warning, set 'ReturnWorkspaceOutputs' to 'off'.
No data has been selected for uploading.
When I open Data Inspector, the processed data is always zero. How to make the process data to generate the results like simulation?

I noticed that after "RUN ON HARDWARE" tab appeared, I clicked "Connect" and it failed to connect. Here is at the MATLAB console side:
>> set_param(gcs,'SimulationCommand','connect')
Warning: Timed out waiting for application to start.

Attempting to establish connection with hostname '192.168.1.214' through port 17725.
Here is at the Simulink console side:
Error occurred while executing External Mode MEX-file 'ext_comm':
Failed to connect to the target. Possible reasons for the failure:
a) The target is not switched on.
b) The target is not connected to your host machine.
c) The application for the model is not running on the target. You might have clicked the Stop button. If the Run button is not dimmed, click it. Otherwise, click the Build button, which downloads and runs your application on the target.
Caused by:
An error occurred attempting to open an rtIOStream. More detail may be reported in the MATLAB command window
I shorted the model name to fix the maximum identifier length warning.

Here is another scenario.
After executing "Configure, Build & Deploy", the "Run on Hardware" tab appears. Instead of running "Monitor & Tune" first, I click "Connect" first.
Here is at the MATLAB console side:

Stop the target, delete the soc_task_app executable, rebuild the code, and try again. Note that execution of external mode requires the build directory to be present
The model is shorted to fix the maximum identifier length warning.

I understand that you are encountering an error with the External Mode MEX-file 'ext_comm', which indicates a failure to connect to the target.
The error observed "Failed to connect to the target" indicates there is an issue with hardware connectivity.
The following workarounds can be tried to resolve the issue:
1. Check if you have configured the host computer as well as the radio hardware. The following documentation page can be referred to for more information on “Guided Host-Radio Hardware” setup: https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2022a/supportpkg/xilinxzynqbasedradio/ug/hardware-and-software-requirements.html
2. Call the ‘zynq’ function from MATLAB command prompt with the following syntax to make sure that MATLAB is set up with the correct physical IP address of the radio hardware.
devzynq = zynq('linux','192.168.3.2','root','root','/tmp');
Further, click on "Monitor & Tune" to check if the issue is resolved.
More details about can be found on this page: https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2022a/supportpkg/xilinxzynqbasedradio/ug/installation-for-hardware-software-co-design.html
I trust this will assist you in resolving the connectivity issue.

There may be an issue with the hardware (Zedboard) being used, I suggest contacting MathWorks Technical Support for further investigation and troubleshooting at https://www.mathworks.com/support/contact_us.html

I use your troubleshooting link and but fail to upload attachments. So I call MathWorks and have a representative showing me how to attach my files.Below are the post originally posted in Error or performance issues.
I am trying to replicate the Simulation results of Event-Driven Task at https://www.mathworks.com/help/soc/ug/event-driven-task-example.html. I can replicate the results in simulation (see eventTaskSim.jpg).
However, when I run the Event-Driven Task in external mode on Zedboard by clicking "Monitor & Tune", the Process Data is always zero (see external_sim.jpg). The Simulink console scripts is shown in externalModeScripts.txt.
After that, I try to click Connect under "Monitor & Tune", I experience hardware connection errors. connectMATLABConsole.txt shows the error in the MATLAB console and connectModelConsole.txt shows the error in the model console.
Here are the steps I have done.
(1) Burn an SD card by opening the Add-on Manager to click the Setup in SoC Blockset Support Package for Xilinx Devices and select Zedboard as the hardware board.
(2) Use Manually enter network setting to pass the connection test.
(3) Make sure the top model soc_simpleeventdriventtask_application.slx (truncated to soc_task_app.slx) and referenced model (soc_simpleeventdriventtask_software.slx (truncated to soc_task_sw.slx) select Zedboard as the hardware board.
(4) Click "Configure, Build & Deplay" and select "Build and load for external mode."
(5) Click "Monitor & Tune" to perform simulation in external mode, which has all zeros in Processed data.
(6) Click "Connect" under "Monitor & Tune" to generate errors in both MATLAB and Simulink consoles.

To fix the connect error, I followed this link (https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/103456-why-do-i-get-a-failed-to-connect-to-the-target-error-when-i-try-to-run-a-model-in-external-mode-on).
However, rather than following Step 2 or Step 3, I did the following:
>> h = zynq;
>> h.openShell('ssh')
In the PuTTY shell, execute the following commands to run the application:
zynq> cd /tmp
zynq> ./soc_simpleeventdriventtask_application.elf
Then go back to soc_simpleeventdriventtask_application.slx and click "Connect" under "Monitor & Tune". After the connection is successful, the icon "Start" appears and click "Start" to start the simulation in external mode.
In short, the elf file has to run first before click "Connect".
Unfortunately, Process Data output is still all zero and the following warnings are still there.
For referenced models, external mode simulations do not support the following:
The use of blocks to view signals from the target application.
Tuning or uploading of model parameters.
Component:Simulink | Category:Model warning
Saving external mode simulation output as a single object is not supported because the workspace variable 'out' is not created during model code execution. To suppress the warning, set 'ReturnWorkspaceOutputs' to 'off'.

In the generated C code, I added printouts for the both the input and the output.
In the function soc_simpleeventdriventtask_application_step1 of file soc_simpleeventdriventtask_application.c, I add printf after rtb_ProcessedData
rtb_ProcessedData = soc_task_app_B.ProcessedData;
(void)printf("Output: %f\n",soc_task_app_B.ProcessedData);
In the function soc_simpleeventdriventtask_application_step1 of file soc_simpleeventdriventtask_application.c, I add printf after
soc_task_app_B.OriginalData = soc_task_app_DW.NextOutput;
(void)printf("Input: %f\n",soc_task_app_DW.NextOutput);
After clicking "Monitor & Tune," I went to the hardware console and printed out the log statements:

After further reading the simulation data inspector, the UDPRead is in the waiting mode throughout the simulation. That is why the Processed Data signal is always zero.
