"Could not connect to target application: XCP TCP/IP error: Connect failed" during 'Monitor & Tune' of ZCU111 RFSoC

Hi,

I'm working through this example* for the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC ZCU111 Evaluation Kit with MATLAB R2023b. I have Simulink, all of the required toolboxes and Vivado installed allowing me to simulate the design; build the HDL and firmware images; load the base image onto the SD card and onto the RFSoC. However, when I try to Monitor & Tune, running the example on the hardware, I get the following:

Furthermore, if i go into 'System on Chip' > 'Hardware Implementation' > 'Target hardware resources' > 'External mode', I cannot specify an IPv4 address or serial port for the XCP server as others have suggested in various other responses:

Serial-ing into the target, all of the files and network config appear correct, so I'm not sure what the issue is:

Any ideas what the issue could be and how to solve it?

Thanks

Hi Maxim,

It appears that you are facing an issue with implementing the example “Transmit Signal Waveform Using DDR4 on Xilinx RFSoC Device” on hardware. I suspect this error may be due to the required third-party tools not being configured.

In addition to the following: Simulink, DSP HDL Toolbox, SoC Blockset and SoC Blockset Support Package for Xilinx Devices, you will need to install and configure additional support packages and third-party tools mentioned in the documentation below.
