Hi Heystek, No worries. I was in your position just a few months ago :). I have attached my matlab startup scripts (startsg and startup.m). These must be placed in the "mlib_devel" directory. You will probably have to change the paths to where your installs are.
All you need to do is the following: 1) Startup matlab R2012b, by running the startsg script. Using the Ubuntu terminal, in the "mlib_devel" directory type: "./startsg". This should startup matlab. There should be a message saying that "system generator currently found installed in matlab default path..." 2) Type in "simulink" in the command window. 3) The Simulink Library Browser will open. Browse to where your model is located and select the *.slx file. 4) The model should open. Press "Ctrl + D" to check for any errors. There should be no errors. 5) Type in "casper_xps" in the command window. The casper XPS window should pop up. Make sure all boxes are ticked under "ISE Design Flow Choice:" and then click on "Run XPS". This will run the system generator as part of the process, the Xilinx ISE and generate the relevant bit, fpg files. I have also attached scripts if you just want to run the programs individually - you will need to edit the path to where your installs are. Good luck. This should get you going. If the scripts bomb out then it is likely that your paths are not correct - check that first.
