MATLAB: Getting Started with Targeting Xilinx Zynq Platform

Question

Hi,

I was following the example available here: https://www.mathworks.com/help/hdlcoder/ug/getting-started-with-hardware-software-codesign-workflow-for-xilinx-zynq-platform.html#d122e108434.

I get the following error at : 3. Generate the IP Core.

Failed Task "Vivado IP Packager" unsuccessful. See log for details. Generated logfile: hdl_prj\hdlsrc\hdlcoder_led_blinking\workflow_task_VivadoIPPackager.log

I am using Vivado 2018.2.

Accordingly, I set up the Xilinx Vivado synthesis tool path using the following command:

hdlsetuptoolpath('ToolName', 'Xilinx Vivado', 'ToolPath', 'C:\Xilinx\Vivado\2018.2\bin\vivado.bat');

Upon typing h = zynq in the command window I get:

h = zynq

h =

LinuxShell with properties:

IPAddress: '169.254.0.2'

Username: 'root'

Port: 22

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks,

Answer 1

Dear Team,

I had a meeting with J T Ferrara and Hoda Sharifi. J T suggested I try to invoke vivado from the command terminal. When I tried :

cd C:\Xilinx\Vivado\2018.2\bin

followed by the command

vivado&

vivado did not launch and there was an error message with code 0xc00000020.

Then, when we opened the file location of Vivado shortcut icon on desktop and tried to cd to the same directory.

J T noticed that the working Vivado installation was in a different folder.

Basically all the files including vivado.bat was present at two places - one in the folder "Xyl" and the other in "Xilinx" and the working one with the license was in "Xyl".

See command window output below:

Accordingly, we changed the matlab hdlsetuppath command to :

hdlsetuptoolpath('ToolName', 'Xilinx Vivado', 'ToolPath', 'C:\Xyl\Vivado\2018.2\bin\vivado.bat');

Now the IP core was successfully generated.

Thank you for all the help!

Sincerely,

Vishnu
