DSP Builder Release Notes
Using Multiple Versions of MATLAB
You specify the MATLAB installation that you want to use with DSP
Builder during DSP Builder installation. If you have more than one
MATLAB installation (for example, release R2006a and R2006b) you can
register DSP Builder with another version using the following procedure:
1. Open a command prompt and change directory to the DSP Builder
installation:
cd <DSP Builder Install Path>dsp_builder
2. Run the following command to register DSP Builder with the
required MATLAB installation:
setupMatlabClassPath install <MATLAB Install Path>
<DSP Builder Install Path>\dsp_builder
1 You must use quotes if the DSP Builder install path or MATLAB
install path include spaces.
Set Up Licensing
Before using DSP Builder, you must request a license file from the Altera
web site at www.altera.com/licensing and install it on your computer.
When you request a license file, Altera e-mails you a license.dat file that
enables HDL file and Tcl script generation.
If you do not have a DSP Builder license file, you can create models with
DSP Builder blocks but you cannot generate HDL files or Tcl scripts.
1 Before you set up licensing for DSP Builder, you must already
have the Quartus II software installed on your computer with
licensing set up.
To install your license, you can either append the license to your
license.dat file or you can specify a separate DSP Builder license file in
the Quartus II software.
Appending the License to Your license.dat File
To install your license, perform the following steps:
1. Close the following software if it is running on your computer:
● The Quartus II software
● The LeonardoSpectrum software
● The Synplify software
● The MATLAB and Simulink tools
