Chapter 2: Installation
Could not find ml_supported.xml to determine supported versions
of MATLAB with System Generator.
If the XML file is unreadable, the error message that is thrown to the MATLAB console
is:
Could not read ml_supported.xml to determine supported versions
of MATLAB with System Generator
xl_read_matlab_support_xmlfile
This MATLAB function reads and parses the XML file looking for the supported
MATLAB version information and provides error/warning messages used by the
sysgen_startup.m script.
xl_test_matlab_support_xmlfile
This MATLAB function tests the current instantiated MATLAB session and compares
its version to those which are supported. Errors or warnings will be displayed based
on results of this comparison. If the XML file is devoid of information, the error thrown
to the MATLAB console is as folows:
Matlab support table used by System Generator is empty!
If the XML file information does not conform to the expected format, the following
error is thrown to the MATLAB console:
Input matlab support table is not well formed. It should have
only 2 columns!
If you are using a version of MATLAB that is too old (unsupported), then you will see
the following error messages:
System Generator will not properly function under this version
of MATLAB!
Error occurred while attempting to install System Generator into
MATLAB path.
If you are using a version of MATLAB that is too new, then you will see the following
warning messages:
System Generator may not properly function under this version of
MATLAB!
