Hi Mark, Thank you for your quick reply. Following your instructions... 1.- It's solved.
2.- It's not solved. I mean, I swapped the blocks of tut1.mdl with blocks from my library. Save the model, close matlab, open matlab and same "bad links" appear. 3 and 4.- Im not at work now so.. tomorrow i will try it. Thank you anyway! Miguel.

This is just a warning you're getting and doesn't hav any effect on the functionality of the toolflow, but you can comment out: Browser(2).Library = 'testbench_lib'; Browser(2).Name = 'Testbench Blockset'; in mlib_devel/gavrt_library/slblocks.m, and you should stop getting that warning. 2. I think this is because you are opening up the model file with a newer library than what it was originally created with. But I think you solved this already by deleting the block and pulling from the library you're opening the model file with. 3. If you look at this posedge, I think it's not being loaded correctly. If you try deleteing and replacing the posedge (tut2/pkt_sim/posedge) like you did in 2, it should fix the problem. 4. I'm not sure what the issue is here, but try ctrl-D, which will update the design and propagate the data types and hopefully it will give a more telling error.

About the first option centos 5.3 / Xilinx ISE 11.4 / Matlab 2009b Are Casper Libraries compatibles with? I mean, don’t are they build for Ise 10.1? My problems? Ok let’s go step by step: 1) Each time I open simulink: Warning: Could not find library ‘testbench_lib’ o speciefied in ‘C:\codigos\mlib_devel\gavrt_library\slblocks.m’ 2) The first time i open a model all the yellow blocks are “bad link” and matlab welcomes me with a lot of warnigs like: “Warning: "tut1/counter_value" is a parameterized link. To view, discard, or propagate the changes for this link, use the "Link Options" menu item.” With the tutorial 2 I also get four warnings like, “Warning: casper_library_misc.mdl, line 5905: block_diagram does not have a parameter named 'BlockName'”. And others warning about a parameter "SID” (I can remember a discussion about SID in the casper list) Anyway, then I pick up an element from BEE_XPS System Blockset (i can see this library in the simulink library browser) , put it in the model and the yellow blocks became ok. 3) When I tried to run ‘bee_xps’ with ‘tut2.mdl’ i get the same warnings plus the following error: Error using ==> gen_xps_files at 199 Failed to find 'Misc/pulse_ext/posedge' in library 'casper_library' referenced by 'tut2/pkt_sim/posedge'. 4) With tutorial3 after “bee_xps” the thing are getting worse... I received around fifty errors like (i only copy two of them but i have a .txt file if someone is interested in): “Error using ==> gen_xps_files at 199 --> Error reported by S-function 'sysgen' in 'r_spec_2048_r105/Concat1': An internal error occurred in the Xilinx Blockset Library.

I readed http://www.xilinx.com/support/answers/17966.htm and chose, Windows XP 32 bits, Matlab R2008a, ISE 10.1.3. Theoretically... it should be valid but........ Miguel.

I started to work with Casper enviroment a couple of months ago. I’m trying to comunicate severals Roach through a swicth. I readed on the web that the best choice was: Windows XP, System Generator 10.1 and Matlab 2008a (as Xilinxs said, it was compatible) but i started to get (a lot of) warnings and errors. I would like to be sure, because I still have a terrible mess with Linux/Windows, Matlab, System generator versions supported to work with Casper libraries, the respository (isn’t a link to git repository on the web, is it?) and i’m driving insane. It would be very helpfull if someone could resume one/two different options: 1) Which O.S must I install? 2) Which System Generator Version must i install? 3) Which Matlab version must i use? I mean, could anyone tell me for example : “RED HAT 5, System Genereator 12.6, Matlab 2011” or “ubuntu 9.7, System Generator 10.1, Matlab 2009a” they both work ok. Thanks. Miguel.
