FPGA and processor model migration from MicroAutoBox II to MicroAutoBox III

Question

Can an FPGA and the corresponding processor model, which was created for a MicroAutoBox II, also be used for a MicroAutoBox III? What steps need to be taken during a migration?

Step 1: Set the solver step in Simulink to "Variable Step" and make sure that in case of one combined model the FPGA subsystem is not commented out.

Step 2: Open the FPGA Setup Block and select a framework supported by the MicroAutoBox III:

Confirm with "Apply" and then "OK".

Step 3: Open the FPGA_IO_WRITE and FPGA_IO_READ blocks in the FPGA model/subsystem.

If an error message appears here, e.g. if the IO module cannot be found, the affected blocks must be recreated.

Step 4: Open the FPGA_XDATA_READ and FPGA_XDATA_WRITE blocks and display the existing "Precessor Interface" by pressing the "Show" button:

Step 5: Delete the PROC_XDATA_WRITE or the PROC_XDATA_READ block as well as the PROC_SETUP_BLOCK on the processor side of the model:

Step 6: Generate the entire processor interface of all the FPGA blocks from the FPGA Setup Block:

To do this, press button "Generate"under "ConfigurationDesk Interface" --> "Processor Interface":

A new Simulink window will open containing all newly generated Model Port blocks:

Alternatively:

Go back to the FPGA model (subsystem) and generate a new "Processor Interface" for each FPGA_XDATA_READ and FPGA_XDATA_WRITE block:
 

Step 7: Move the model port block(s) thus generated by selecting and "CTRL + X" and insert the blocks on the processor side by "CTRL + V". Connect the blocks, respectively:

Step 8: The migration is complete. Test the functionality of the model by starting an offline simulation in Simulink.
