Matlab Coder fails generation for slerp() call with double quaternions

I am using  MATLAB coder to generate code for following function.

function [D] = getInterpolatedTransforms(q0,t0,q1,t1,steps,correction)
D = zeros(4,4,steps);    
for i = 0:1:steps-1
    coeff = single(i/steps);
    qt = slerp(q0,q1,coeff);
    tt = [t0*(1-coeff)+t1*coeff,1]';
    D(1:3,1:3,i+1) = (quat2rotm(qt))*correction;
    D(1:4,4,i+1) = tt;
    
end

end

I get following error while generating code at the "check for issues" step>

??? This assignment writes a 'single' value into a 'double' type. Code generation does
not support changing types through assignment. Check preceding assignments or input
type specifications for type mismatches.
