Hardware and Software Requirements

Required MathWorks Products

To use the I/O mode features for Xilinx^® Zynq^®-Based Radio, the following MathWorks^® products are required:

• MATLAB^®

• Communications Toolbox™

• SoC Blockset™

• Signal Processing Toolbox™

• DSP System Toolbox™

To work with the hardware-software co-design workflow, the following MathWorks products are also required:

• Simulink^®

• To target the FPGA fabric on the device: HDL Coder™ Support Package for Xilinx FPGA and SoC Devices (requires HDL Coder)

• To target the ARM^® processor on the device: Embedded Coder^® Support Package for AMD SoC Devices (requires Embedded Coder, Simulink Coder™, and the ARM Cortex^®-A support package)

Required Third-Party Tools

• Third-party tools required by the I/O mode features are automatically downloaded and installed during the support package installation.

• To work with the hardware-software co-design and FPGA targeting workflows, you must manually install the following third-party tools:

  • Xilinx Vivado^® development tools, version 2023.1

a The FMCOMMS RF card tends to fall out of the slot on the Zynq development board, especially when using a heavy antenna. Use the standoffs that come with the SDR development kit. b ZedBoard™ Rev B and earlier revisions must have a heat sink attached. (Rev C and later revisions have the heat sink attached already.) If your board has an FMC radio attached but no heat sink, the Zynq processor overheats and stops working.
