Hi Heystek, That's wonderful news, congrats! I found that getting the toolchain working is very hard and tedious, working with it is fun! :-) Also, it should be noted that 99% of the setup problems are from Python, Matlab, and Vivado and not from the CASPER toolflow itself. Good luck with your

Hey Mitch. Thank you for the reply. The Python version that my system is returning is 3.7.13. Should I rather use Python 3.8? I have noticed that matlab2021a does not support python3.9. Thank you - Heystek Grobler 0832721009

Hi Haystek, This most likely is a python version conflict. When you activate your Python environment, what is the version of Python that `python -V` returns? For me, my casper dev env returns Python 3.8.2. The second tutorial incorporates the RFDC yellow block. When the back end tool

Hi Heystek, I think it better if you used 20.04. Is the first machine (18.04) the one that crashes and that when you have had Matlab working that comes from your second machine (20.04)? I just did some tests and was able to reproduce your issue with generating the dtbo. In your xilinx device

Hi Heystek, Mitch, all, The System Generator hanging issue occasionally still happens to me too (but very rarely). However, it happened to me with every compile at one time when I had a version of MATLAB installed that had many other toolboxes installed. There is a note here

Hi Heystek, One thing first, then the hang issue. From your screenshot of your startsg.local I notice that you need to add an additional env variable to the Xilinx device tree repo, and that you need to change the back end env variable form vivado to Vitis. Please compare your startsg.local

Hi Heystek, This issue is most likely caused in a discrepancy between the python environment you setup for mlib_devel and one that matlab/simulink is using. Can you verify that when you start matlab that your python environment is active, or that your startsg.local configuration file sets the

Sorry, I should be more helpful to specifically point out which of the issues in this list on the CASPER wiki link that you are running into. Morag had pointed you in the right direction. Your specific issue is that there is a conflict between a library in the Ubuntu installation and the same

I _think_ that's all you need. FYI - you can probably get a 30 day trial (or 90 in the case of sysgen) license for free, which should save you waiting for XUP. Cheers Jack On Thu, 5 Oct 2023 at 11:03, Heystek Grobler wrote: > Hey Jack and Kaj. > > Thank you so much for the help and guidance.

Hey Jack and Kaj. Thank you so much for the help and guidance. So the license I got with the RFSoC ZSU111 does not contain the Xilinx ML Enterprise Edition and it also does not contain SysGen. My University (The University of Pretoria) is reaching out to Xilinx to buy the appropriate licence.

I would suggest trying to get the new license. I'm suspect that Vivado 2020 supports the RFSoC chips you want (though I haven't checked) but using an older version than the toolflow suggests will almost certainly lead to other issues. Swimming against the CASPER version-tide is never a

Hi Heystek, Usually the license comes with the full set, at least the academic ones that we get and the components (like Sysgen) are not specifically listed in the license file. They are also 'backwards compatible' so 2023.6 should work just fine with e.g. 2021.1. Maybe for some reason Sysgen is
