MATLAB: Am I unable to setup a USB flash drive for standalone boot method with SLRT

kernel

I would like to use the Simulink Real-Time standalone boot method with a USB flash drive.  I am following the instructions from the documentation:
https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2018a/xpc/gs/embedded-target-boot-method.html#bvmyh3w
Where I am led to create a bootable partition on my USB flash drive:
https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2018a/xpc/gs/creating-a-bootable-partition.html
After following all these steps, and loading the Simulink Real-Time files onto the Flash drive, I am unable to boot into SLRT from the flash drive.  Why?

Best Answer

DOS must be installed on the USB drive.  Then the following SLRT files should be copied to the root of the drive:
autoexec.bat
xpcboot.com
slrtkrnl.rtb
ex_slrt_rt_osc.mldatx
The following documentation explains why DOS is necessary:

I was able to successfully create a bootable DOS USB stick by following the instructions from this link:
