DSP Builder Release Notes
Obtain & Install DSP Builder
Accessing the DSP Builder Libraries from within MATLAB
After installing DSP Builder, you can view DSP Builder libraries in the
MATLAB software by performing the following steps:
1. Start the MATLAB software. (You can choose to automatically start
MATLAB at the end of the install program.)
2. Click the Start icon in the lower left corner of the main MATLAB
window. Point to Simulink and click Library Browser. The Altera
DSP Builder Blockset folder is available in the Simulink Library
Browser window.
Using Previous Versions of DSP Builder
The DSP Builder install program searches for any previous installations
of DSP Builder before it installs a new version. If any existing installations
are found, the program prompts you to update an existing installation of
the product or install a new copy of the product.
If you choose to update an existing product, you can modify, repair or
remove the old version.
1 Do not attempt to modify or repair a pre-7.1 version of DSP
Builder using the v7.1 install program.
A previous version of DSP Builder can co-exist with v7.1 and is required
to upgrade your pre-v7.1 designs.
If an older version of DSP Builder is installed, you can register it in
MATLAB by entering the following commands at the MATLAB prompt:
1. cd <path to old version>\DSPBuilder\AltLib r
2. setup_dspbuilder r
1 Note that the old version of the DSP Builder blockset is called
Altera DSP Builder. The new version is called Altera DSP
Builder Blockset. Although these blocksets can co-exist while
you are upgrading your designs, you cannot mix blocks from
both blocksets. Errors are issued during simulation if your v7.1
design includes any pre-v7.1 blocks. The old version of DSP
Builder should be uninstalled once you have upgraded your
designs.
