Is USRP N210 Rev 3.0 supported by the Communications with USRP?

I have an ettus USRP N210 Rev.3 mother board with WBX. I have been trying a HDL code generation using communication with USRP version 3.0 (R2012a).

I opened the demo program sdruFMMonoFPGA.mdl and followed the instruction written in the help, the name of the chapter is "FPGA Targeting." But it won't work saying that the "function of variable newMdlRefHandle is undefined" at HDL workflow advisor step 3.2.

My question is twofold. (a) Is USRP N210 Rev.3 supported? The help file says that Rev.2 and Rev.4 are supported but never mentioned about Rev.3. (b) What can I do for the error mentioned above if the Rev.3 is supported?

Any clue would be appreciated.

MathWorks has not tested support of FPGA Targeting for N210 "Rev 3.0" hardware. However, as per Ettus Research both USRP N210 Rev2 and Rev3 share the same codebase. So if you select USRP N210 Rev 2.0 in the HDL Workflow advisor, you should be able to get the targeting completed.

Regarding the error message, it is difficult to guess without looking at the model. But from the description, it appears that the error is coming during code generation step. Please check if the HDL Code is generated without error when tried outside of HDL workflow advisor.

Ettus research have also told me that Rev2 and Rev3 are essentially the same. It seems the Rev3 can be used as Rev2.
