Windows Installations
This dialog box allows you to associate any supported MATLAB® installation with this version of System Generator.
Click the check box of the MATLAB installation(s) you wish to associate with this version of System Generator, select the Xilinx® Design Suite you wish to associate with, then click Apply. Once the Apply operation is completed, the value in the Status column changes from “Not Configured” to “Configured”.
The application lists all the available MATLAB installations. The Status field shows one of the following values:
- Unsupported
- This version of MATLAB is not supported with this version of System Generator.
- Not Configured
- This version of MATLAB is not yet associated with this version of System Generator. To associate this version of MATLAB with System Generator, click the check box and then click Apply.
- Configured
- System Generator is now ready to be used with this version of MATLAB.
If you do not see a version of MATLAB listed, click Find MATLAB to browse for a valid version.
If you wish to change the MATLAB configuration, open System Generator MATLAB Configurator 2020.2.
If MATLAB is configured for a Design Suite, for example, the ISE Design Suite, and you wish to re-configure MATLAB for another Design Suite, for example, Vivado® IDE, you must select the Configured MATLAB version box and click Remove before you re-configure for Vivado IDE.
Linux Installations
Launching System Generator under Linux is
handled via a shell script called sysgen located in
the <Vivado_install_dir>/bin directory.
Before launching this script, you must make sure the MATLAB executable can be found in the PATH environment variable. Once
the MATLAB executable can be found, executing
System Generator will launch the first
MATLAB executable found in PATH and attach
System Generator to that session of MATLAB. Also, the System Generator shell script supports all the options that MATLAB supports and can be passed as command line
arguments to the System Generator script.
