Honored Contributordsp builder installation
i have purchased cyclone II DSP development kit EP2C70.
there is an installation issue with DSP Builder v6.0 (dsp builder CD provided with the kit). i have install Quartus II version 6.0sp1 (provided with the kit) megacore IP v6.0 (provided with the kit). Nios II v6.0 (provided with the kit). when i try to install DSP Builder then message window appear "install matlab 7.0 , 7.1 or 2006a before installing dsp builder" although matlab 2007b is provided with the kit, and i have already install this in my PC. i have also installed matlab 7.0 but the same error message window appears every time. please help me in the installation of dsp builder v6.017 Replies
Altera_Forumdid you just purchase the kit and activate the license? if so you should be able to install the 9.1sp2 or 10.0sp1 tools and a more recent version of MATLAB, it might be easier than figuring out the old tools

Old versions of DSP Builder had quite buggy installers. For instance:
http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=9606#post9606 (http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=9606#post9606) It's possible that the very presence of the newer version of MATLAB is causing this problem. You could try uninstalling MATLAB R2007b, follow the trick in the post I linked to clear your registry and try again. However I would really recommend using a newer version of DSP Builder. 6.0 is very old and many bugs have been fixed since then. - Altera_Forum
my problems still not resolved by the way u refered me (to the post above)plz tell me about some other solution ineed to start my work on project i have to present it on 16 jan 2011

Without access to your machine, there's not a great deal else I can do. I really would recommend getting a new version of DSP Builder and using that.

thanks sir!
i have install dsp builder correctly. but know i have to integrate dsp builder with matlab 7.0 when i set "C;\altera\DSPBuilder\Altlib" in the current directory and type command "setup_dspbuilder" then message appear in the command waindow of matlab "the environment variable 'DSPBUILDER_ROOTDIR' required by the dsp builder has not set". how can i resolve this issue - Altera_Forum
To set the environment variable, do the following (assuming you're using Windows XP - Vista/Win7 are not much different):
1. Close Matlab if it's open 2. Left-click on the Start menu 3. Right-click on "My Computer" and select "Properties" 4. Select the "Advanced" tab and click "Environment Variables" 5. Click New below System variables 6. Enter Variable name as DSPBUILDER_ROOTDIR and Variable value as C:\altera\DSPBuilder\Altlib 7. Click OK and then OK again. 8. Now start MATLAB and the variable should be set. You can verify it's set by typing "getenv DSPBUILDER_ROOTDIR" at the matlab prompt. - Altera_Forum
thanx sir!

i have downloaded quartus version 9 nd using matlab 2009a, i m intending to download dsp builder v9.1 but it needs a license key to generate an hdl file???
does altera offers free license key for dsp builder v9.1??? as it did when i use quartus v6.0 - Altera_Forum
I don't know about the license situation but you can't use DSP Builder 9.1 with Quartus 9.0.

i have installed quatus 8.1 and dsp builder 8.1
can anybody tell me will dsp builder generate verilog file without being licensed???
