1. Introduction
--------------------------------------------------------
   This patch can only be installed on top of an
   existing dSPACE Release 7.1, which contains a valid
   RTIFPGA 2.1 installation.
   The patch will update RTIFPGA 2.1 to RTIFPGA 2.1.16.

   
--------------------------------------------------------
2. New Features and Migration
--------------------------------------------------------

a. Support for DS5203M1 piggyback
   - DS5203_DS5203M1_XC5VSX95T FPGA Framework added
   - DS5203_DS5203M1_XC5VLX50T FPGA Framework added
   
   If you want to reuse an FPGA model from another 
   framework, you have to replace each inserted block 
   from the FPGA Interface library with one of the new 
   framework.

b. Support for DS5203 PCB Revision-04 
   - DS5203 FPGA Framework updated
   - DS5203_XC5VLX50T FPGA Framework updated

   Before working with existing FPGA models you must 
   update the FPGA framework. 
   You can use the script interface to update the FPGA 
   framework without changing the values of the block 
   parameters:
   rtifpga_scriptinterface('FPGAFrameworkUpdate', <SimulinkHandle>)
   The script handles all the subsystems in the model/
   subsystem which is specified by the Simulink handle. 
   The parameters of the blocks are unchanged after 
   updating to the current framework version.
   Example: 
   The following script updates the FPGA framework for
   any FPGA subsystems in the processor model called
   "MyProcModel". 
   The specified values of the block parameters are not
   changed.
   ProcModelHandle = get_param('MyProcModel','handle')
   rtifpga_scriptinterface('FPGAFrameworkUpdate', ProcModelHandle)
   
   
--------------------------------------------------------
3. Installing the Software
--------------------------------------------------------

   To install the software, execute
   DS_RTIFPGA_2.1_203964.exe.

   NOTE: You need to close any dSPACE software and
         MATLAB before invoking the installation.
