Wow! Thank you for your replies!
Ok let's see:
1) It was solved with Mark instructions
2) It's solved following Zhu instructions
3) It's also ok by replacing the block as you suggested me.
4) It's better but i still get an error. After 2 hours and a half I get the
following error. Must i follow the instructions and it doesn't matter?:

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.
Also, note that the "Parameterized link" warning is normal, and does not
cause trouble. It's due to the library blocks disconnecting from the
library when they redraw, if I remember right.
You can/should ignore them.
John
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
'r_spec_2048_r105/Concat1':

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.
