MatLab 2009/11 Quartus 9.1/11.1sp2

Question

Hi,

I have a Cyclone IV E FPGA.

I am working on a Project using Quartus 11.1sp2 and MatLab 2010.

But I also need some older projects which were programmed on Quartus 9.1 and MatLab 2009.

Sadly the Modell on Simulink arent compatible.

Now I have installed both, but now I cant compile any Project either on MatLab 2009 or on MatLab 2010.

I get an error message on MatLab 2010 :

Error (23031): Evaluation of Tcl script

and on MatLab 2009 I cant even choose the right Board in the signal compiler.

Hope somebody can help me.

Your terms are confusing. I think when you say MATLAB, you mean DSP Builder. The MATLAB version should not cause any issues except that older versions are not supported by newer versions of DSP Builder. (R2009b of MATLAB is supported by Quartus 11.1sp2).

Can you load your old DSP Builder design into a newer DSP Builder? What exactly happens when you try to compile using the signal compiler? (Signal compiler doesn't list boards, so do you mean device families?)

Hi,

yeah u r right, when Im talking about MatLab I mean the DSP Builder of the same Version like Quartus, which is installed for the specific MatLab Version.

And I am using MatLab 2009a not b, which makes it so difficult :wacko:

when I load the DSP Builder Design from 2009a in 2010a I get an error:

ERROR: Can't open revision: STEP_LED_R2R (project: STEP_LED_R2R). The revision is not compatible with the installed version of the Quartus II software. Opening the revision will overwrite the old revision database. If you wish to overwrite the old revision database, make sure to specify the -force option.

while executing

"project_open -revision $projectname $projectname"

invoked from within

"if ([project_exists $projectname]) {

project_open -revision $projectname $projectname

} else {

project_new -revision $projectname $projectname

}"

(file "C:\DOKUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOKALE~1\Temp\generateProject3703794844369760641.tcl" line 19)

------------------------------------------------

Error (23031): Evaluation of Tcl script C:\DOKUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOKALE~1\Temp\generateProject3703794844369760641.tcl unsuccessful

Error: Elapsed time: 00:00:19

Error: Total CPU time (on all processors): 00:00:09

Same Error occures, when I want to build it in MatLab 2009a and when I build a new DSP Builder Design in 2010a, which definitly works earlier.

One think also confuse me. While compiling it in 2009a I get the INFO message in the DSP BUILDER SIGNAL COMPILER:

Info: Version 11.1 Build 259 01/25/2012 Service Pack 2 SJ Full Version

Instead of using Version 9.1!

All the problems ocurred after installing Version 9.1!

MATLAB R2009a will almost certainly work with DSP Builder 11.1SP2. It's just that the installer won't detect older versions. You can get around this by entering the path to MATLAB manually on the MATLAB selection page.  Try loading the quartus project manually in Quartus II 11.1SP2 first and then resave it. This should allow DSP Builder to use it.  It's possible your MATLAB installation has references to two different Quartus/DSP Builder versions. To check this, run the following commands: path
javaclasspath and check that there are only paths from one version.

in both versions of MatLab there is only one Version of DSP Builder added and its the right one. But my Javaclasspath DYNAMIC is empty, is it bad?

How can I load a MatLab/Simulink Modell load in Quartus?

Quartus needs .qpf and to get this I need to compile the Simulink modell with the DSP BUILDER Signal Compiler and that wont work.

Depends if the static class path contains a reference to DSP Builder.

If the static class path doesn't point to a DSP Builder jar file then the signal compiler window wouldn't even appear.

The error message you're getting when using the Signal compiler seems to imply that you already have a qpf in the same directory as your mdl file. (It may be in the directory called <model>_dspbuilder).
