Hi all

I'm trying to get CASPER toolflow running with latest version of Xilinx
Vivado and I have faced some issues.

First I started with Vivado 2018.2 and Matlab 2017b. At this point, there
is no information about supported versions of Matlab for Vivado 2018.2 in
the official website:

https://www.xilinx.com/support/answers/55830.html

So I decided to try Matlab 2017b but it didn't work. There were issues with
libstdc++.so.6. So in case you get errors like this:

***********************
cp: cannot stat
`/home/Xilinx/2018/Vivado/2018.2/lib/lnx64.o:/home/Xilinx/2018/Vivado/2018.2/lib/lnx64.o/Default/libstdc++.so.6':
No such file or directory
Error evaluating 'PreLoadFcn' callback of block_diagram 'xbsIndex_r4'.
Callback string is
'warning('off','MATLAB:mex:deprecatedExtension');xlSysGenPreLoadCheck;xlmeta;evalin('base','xilinx.environment.loadAllStrategies();');'
[2 similar]
Caused by:
Invalid MEX-file
'/home/Xilinx/2018/Vivado/2018.2/lib/lnx64.o/matlab/xlmeta.mexa64':
**********************

and a lot of "Missing Symbols ....", It's probably because of the version
mismatch.

Next, I installed Matlab 2018a and the issues mentioned above were solved,
however a very interesting issue raised up. When I tried simulating a
simple design, I got the following error for SNAP board:

**********************
Part on the System Generator Token in your design is set to Kintex7
xc7k160t-2ffg676. This part is not found in your Vivado installation.
Please modify the System Generator Token to a part that is currently
installed or update Vivado by installing this part.
**********************

I also tried running the simulation for VCU118. The device was changed to
"xcvu9p-2L-e-eslflga2104" and I got the same error message.

I doubled check the installed devices by running the Vivado installer and
it seems all devices are installed:

Vivado and Matlab work standalone without issues. I get the aforementioned
error when I try to simulate a design in Simulink.

I'm using CentOS 6.10. In Vivado Release Notes, It doesn't mention a
support for this version of CentOS:

However, since Vivado works independently, I assume there shouldn't be an
issue with CentOS version.

I would be grateful if you could share your opinion and possible debugging
methods.
