Upgrading Your
Existing Models
You must have DSP Builder v7.1 and a previous version (v6.1 or v7.0) of
DSP Builder registered in MATLAB before you can upgrade your pre-v7.1
design models.
1 The Altera DSP Builder Blockset must be opened in the
Simulink library browser before you can upgrade a design.
To upgrade a existing design, perform the following steps:
1. Use the MATLAB browser to navigate into the design directory for
the old design.
2. Open the top-level model in the design.
1 If your design consists of custom library components and a
separate testbench model, it is best to upgrade the testbench
before any custom library components.
3. In the Edit menu, choose Update Diagram (or use the Ctrl+D
shortcut) to ensure your design is up-to-date and correct the design
if any errors or warnings are issued. For example, if there are any
warning that a block’s sample time is back-inherited theses should
be corrected by removing the -1 setting of its sample time parameter.
