Hi Miguel,
For 2, put load_system('xps_library'), load_system('casper_library') and
load_system('gavrt_library') into your startup.m may solve this issue.
It is due to the libraries are not initialized properly.
For 3, the posedge block has been changed from 'Misc/pulse_ext/posedge'
to 'Misc/posedge' in casper_library, up one level. Just replace it with
a new one inside 'pkt_sim' block.
For 4, I'm not sure but could you please try if this 'clock pin' trick
helps? see:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01070.html for
detail.
It is mentioned at the last section of
http://casper.berkeley.edu/wiki/Xilinx_ISE_11.4_Setup
For casper tools running environment, we use below combination
CentOS 5.5 x86_64
Matlab 2009b
Xilinx ISE 11.5
If you need to run python client scripts on CentOS 5.5, you must install
a separate python 2.6 from EPEL repository and manually compile numpy,
matplotlib, ipython, katcp, corr etc.

Hi Miguel,
For 2, try opening a new model file and putting in the XSG_core_config
and System Generator blocks, pulling them from their libraries. Then
open up tut1 and copy everything except the XSG_core_config and the SG
blocks and paste it into your new model file. Save and ctrl-D. If that
doesn't work, you may have to redraw tut1 from scratch.

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.

Hi Miguel,
Sorry you're having so much trouble.
1. 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.
Best,
Mark

Hi Griffin,
Thank you so much!!
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

I download the models from Casper web so i assume they will be
ok. This is the reason why i was wondering if i have the correct
setup. 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.

Hi Miguel,
We are using a windows and linux setup which is:
centos 5.3 / Xilinx ISE 11.4 / Matlab 2009b
windows XP / Xilinx ISE 10.1 / Matlab 2007b
the main git repo is at:
git://casper.berkeley.edu/mlib_devel.git
<http://casper.berkeley.edu/mlib_devel.git>
What kind of errors are you getting?

Hi all,
My name is 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.
