Recommended configuration
The RT-XSG toolbox needs the following software in order to be able to generate a programming file for the targeted FPGA:
- Microsoft® Windows® 10
- Xilinx®Vivado® System Suite with System Generator for DSPTM or AMD-Xilinx® Vivado ML Enterprise Edition with Vitis Model ComposerTM (refer to the tables below to see which version best suits your needs)
- MathWorks® MATLAB® and Simulink® (refer to the tables below to see which version best suits your needs)
When selecting a combination of RT-XSG / MATLAB and Vivado version, please refer to the three tables below.
Compatibility between AMD/ XILINX® Vivado® and MathWorks® MATLAB®

- (R): Restricted version, not globally available
- 1: Bug with Windows 10 / Vivado 2019.2: set_param constraints.enableBinaryConstraints 0 in script BitstreamCompiler.tcl, correction made in 3.3.0+
- Compatibility between OPAL-RT RT-XSG and MathWorks® MATLAB®
- Vivado tool was integrated in OPAL-RT RT-XSG toolbox starting with MATLAB® 2014b.
- 2: Bug with Vivado for bitstream generation with Versal for expansion card, therefore, support removed.
