Hi,
FYI, upgrading the block description in the Simulink Library Browser
required adding appropriate lines (given to me by block developer) to
xps_library/xps_library.mdl.
However, when I try to compile a model with the new block, I get the
following error:

Programation files generation failed, EDK compilation probably also failed.
I have added the *dac_mkid_interface_v1_01_a/* directory (given to me -
dac_mkid is the new block) to
*casper_mlib_10_1/xps_lib/pcores/* and
*casper_mlib_10_1/xps_lib/XPS_ROACH_base/pcores/*
It contains *data/dac_mkid_interface_v2_1_0.mpd* with the same read
permissions as other peer files.
I have tried adding xps_lib/ to the Matlab search path.
Is there some "registry" file for the pcores I need to tweak?
Thanks,
Steve
