Hello everyone.
we have zynq-zc706-adv7511-ad9361-fmcomms2-3 and it includes the SD-card image which provided by analog devices(including the analog devices linux environment and iio oscilloscope/libiio)
we want to simulate in the simulink (stream data not hdl coder) the next matlab system block
the problem with that block that we want to include in the simulation the ad-freqcvt1-ebz down-up converter. we understand that we may need to change the cfg file which for the moment is written like this :
data_in_device = cf-ad9361-dds-core-lpc
data_out_device = cf-ad9361-lpc
ctrl_device = ad9361-phy
channel = RX_LO_FREQ,IN,out_altvoltage0_RX_LO_frequency,
channel = RX_SAMPLING_FREQ,IN,in_voltage_sampling_frequency,
channel = RX_RF_BANDWIDTH,IN,in_voltage_rf_bandwidth,
channel = RX1_GAIN_MODE,IN,in_voltage0_gain_control_mode,
channel = RX1_GAIN,IN,in_voltage0_hardwaregain,
channel = RX1_RSSI,OUT,in_voltage0_rssi,
channel = RX2_GAIN_MODE,IN,in_voltage1_gain_control_mode,
channel = RX2_GAIN,IN,in_voltage1_hardwaregain,
channel = RX2_RSSI,OUT,in_voltage1_rssi,
channel = TX_LO_FREQ,IN,out_altvoltage1_TX_LO_frequency,
channel = TX_SAMPLING_FREQ,IN,out_voltage_sampling_frequency,
channel = TX_RF_BANDWIDTH,IN,out_voltage_rf_bandwidth,
what are the changes that need to be done in order to achieve the required block ? (and how to write them in cfg file )
further more is there any other changes that needs to be done in the system object file ? (wrote below )

Hi Raz,
As you are using ADI's Simulink block and code, the best place to get answers is on their Engineer Zone. MathWorks provides support for the AD9361 via the Xilinx Zynq-Based Radio Hardware Support Package.
Kind regards,
Neil

Hi Raz,
I'm afraid MathWorks workflow for the AD9361 doesn't support ad-freqcvt1-ebz either. I think ADI have covered the answer pretty well in their answer on Engineer Zone.
As stated in that answer, you have two options for AD9361 support with MathWorks tools:
1. Official MathWorks support through the Zynq support package: https://www.mathworks.com/hardware-support/zynq-sdr.html
2. ADI Support through the Transceiver Toolbox: https://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/transceiver-toolbox
The recommended starting point is the official MathWorks support. The support you are presenting in your question (including the cfg files) is no longer supported by ADI.
Thanks,
Neil
