Pulse-Doppler Radar Using Xilinx RFSoC Device

Dear Sir,

I just receive and configure my Xilinx Zynq® UltraScale+™ RFSoC ZCU111 evaluation kit + XM500 balun card.

Based on the Matlab example below,

https://www.mathworks.com/help/supportpkg/xilinxsoc/ug/rangedopplerradarusingxilinxrfsocdevice.html

I tried the command below,

open_system('soc_range_doppler_top')

It shows "No system or file called 'soc_range_doppler_top' found.", may I know where to find the example?

Thanks.

I understand that you are trying to open and use the example model given in below documentation link.

https://www.mathworks.com/help/supportpkg/xilinxsoc/ug/rangedopplerradarusingxilinxrfsocdevice.html

The above example uses following listed products and support packages:

1. DSP HDL Toolbox
2. SoC Blockset
3. Simulink
4. SoC Blockset Support Package for Xilinx Devices

The example can be accessed only if the above listed products and support packages are installed. The first three can be installed while doing MATLAB installation(If not please do install). But the corresponding support package should be installed separately. It can be done by following below steps:

1. Open MATLAB command window and click on “Add-Ons drop down button” and click “Get Add-Ons” as shown

2. In the search bar search for “SoC Blockset Support Package for Xilinx Devices” and click on it

3. Install dropdown ->Install

4. Click on “I Accept” then support packages will be downloaded and installed automatically

5. Once the support packages are installed the following window displays. Now click on “Setup Now” button

6. Then Install the following third party tools by clicking on Install button. It may take some time

7. After installing all the third party tool, click “Next and close the Hardware Setup” window.

Now try to access the example model. It will be opened in new Simulink window. Hope the query is resolved.

Thanks it is right!! I can see example.

So Ihave a question in this example.. How to works the section Host UDP Interface... this section have a code but i dont undertand.. is this code a "host" or is only interface with a host "external" matlab

Can you help me ?

[Chandra Adusumalli]

Host UDP Interface is the test bench for simulation, in which it will configure the radar system , radra target emulator through processor subsytem and displays the detect targets on the range doppler map.

I am testing ZCU111 with Matlab example of “Pulse-Doppler Radar Using Xilinx RFSoC Device”, however I have problem to link Vivado (see the image attached).

May I know your advice how to troubleshoot? Thanks.

[Bharath Venkataraman]

You need to use Vivado 2020.2 - you are pointing to Vivado 2022.2 which is not supported.
