MATLAB: Hdl coder led blinking example

HDL Coderled examplesoc workflow

Hi!
I would like to complete this workflow example:
https://www.mathworks.com/help/hdlcoder/examples/define-and-register-custom-board-and-reference-design-for-soc-workflow.htmlefine and Register Custom Board and Reference Design for SoC Workflow
Like in the tutorial, I made a custom reference block design, without any AXI peripheral, because hdl coder will provide that. But at this point I am not able to validate my design in vivado, with axi_interconnect_0/M00_AXI port unconnected.
Later, when the hdl workflow advisor tries to "create project" (at workflow stage 4.1), the generated "vivado_create_prj.tcl" runs "validate design", and fails. (workspace/hdl_prj/vivado_ip_prj/vivado_create_prj.tcl)
Is there any way to workaround this issue?

Hi Bence, are you using Vivado 2017.4? We noticed that Vivado 2017.4 starts to error out on unconnected AXI Master ports in the validate_bd_design. If you are using Vivado 2017.2 or earlier versions, the "create project" should not error out.
