ZedBoard full Linux for MathWorks HDL Coder

I am using HDL Coder to program a Xilinx ZedBoard. The HDL Workflow Advisor works great when the ZebBoard is running the basic Linux provided for MathWorks Embedded Coder. However, when I change the OS on the ZedBoard to a full Linux like Ubuntu, it gives an error. the "Generate Software Interface Model" part cannot connect to the ZedBoard and add IP core device driver. Is there any full Linux for the ZedBoard which is compatible with Simulink HDL Coder?

Hi Amir, Ubuntu or any other Linux flavor is not supported by HDL Coder and Embedded Coder support package for Zynq/ZedBoard in R2013b. The only Linux binary we support is the one you are using: http://www.mathworks.com/hardware-support/zynq.html

To work on Ubuntu, you need to write your own AXI read and write C code. The hardware design part (FPGA bitstream) is the same.

Thanks Wang. It works.
