System Generator Software Features

This chapter brieﬂy describes how to use various features of the System Generator v2.1. It contains the following sections.

∙Using the System Generator installer

∙Using Black Boxes

∙Use of mixed language projects

∙Tips for creating a high performance design

∙Use of System Generator-supplied user constraints (.ucf) ﬁle

∙Files automatically created by System Generator

Using the System Generator installer

The System Generator installer is now contained in a single MATLAB ﬁle:

setup.dll.

Download SysgenInstall_v2_1.exe from the Xilinx web site and execute it. This extracts setup.dll and README.txt to a temporary directory. Since setup.dll is a MATLAB ﬁle, you will need to install the software from within MATLAB. Open the MATLAB console, then change directories (cd) to the temporary directory where you extracted setup.dll. Type:

>>setup

at the MATLAB console prompt. This will launch the System Generator installer.

Uninstalling previous System Generator directories

If you have previously installed the System Generator tools, the installer will ask if you wish to install System Generator v2.1 to the same location. If so, it will warn you that your old copy will be removed. If you have opened any System Generator designs in your current MATLAB session, you must close and re-open MATLAB before uninstalling can proceed.

Note that the System Generator will remove everything in your previously installed System Generator directory and subdirectories. If you have added any ﬁles to the installed System Generator area, they will be removed. We suggest that you back up your System Generator designs into another directory, such as the $MATLAB/work directory.

If you wish to uninstall System Generator v2.1 or previous versions by hand, you may manually remove the entire directory, starting at the top level of the System Generator installed area. This is located by default at $MATLAB/toolbox/xilinx.
