Re: [casper] Help with Xilinx and Simulink

Hi

I will check that I did everything of the compile tweeks in the casper
webpage. If it does not work I will provide screenshots of the errors.

Thanks for all the help

 Hello Heystek,

 Just to get you an answer quickly, try the following command:

 chmod 777 -R /home/heystek/Desktop/tut1

 If that command makes an error message then add sudo.
 It's funny that you should have permissions issues there, if this
 doesn't fix things then there might be stranger issues at play.

 Regards,
 James

Hi Heystek,

It appears that line 362 of gen_xps_files.m is commented out, so not sure
what the error pertains to, but still worth checking the pcore compile
tweaks.

Kind Regards,

Adam

 Hi James and Adam

 I got it working. The chmod +x startsg command did the trick. I started
 with the first casper tutorial, but when the system generator compiles it
 the tutorial breaks. It gives two errors.

 1. Design Error  DefaultBlockDiagram  System Generator   Caught
 standard exception
 2. Block ErrorAddSub   System Generator

 The following error log was also generated:

 - Version Log
 --
 Version Path
 System Generator/opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/ISE/s
 ysgen
 Matlab 8.0.0.783 (R2012b)   /usr/local/MATLAB/R2012b
 ISE /opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/ISE
 
 
 Summary of Errors:
 Error 0001: caught standard exception
  Block: Unspecified
 
 

 Error 0001:

 Reported by:
   Unspecified

 Details:
 standard exception: XNetlistEngine:
 Exception message could not be parsed:
 com.xilinx.sysgen.netlist.NetlistInternal: couldn't open first
 pass text file at
 /home/heystek/Desktop/tut1/sysgen/sysgen/masterScript423796839757439882
 5.pl
 line 559'

 
 

 Do you perhaps have an idea how I can fix it?

 Thanks for all the help.

 Have a wonderful day.
