Can't open HDL Workflow Advisor

I recently installed HDL Coder, and when I try to open the HDL Workflow Advisor, I get the following errors:

The Model Advisor tree structure is incorrect. The structure of the following folder is not specified correctly: HDL Workflow Advisor.

Error using hdlwa.hdlwaDriver/getTaskObj

Cannot find task ID with name 'com.mathworks.HDL.SetTargetDevice'.

Error in utilHandle_HDLAdvisorData

Error in utilHDLAdvisorStart

Error in hdladvisor

Please try this and if this does not help it is best to have a clean install.

>>Advisor.Manager.refresh_customizations

Or

>>rehash toolboxcache

The first command fixed my initial problem, however, now when I try to run HDL Coder with the workflow advisor, it can't seem to find the family of FPGAs I am trying to code to. Here is the new set of errors:

Error using hwcli.runWorkflow

Could not apply model's SynthesisTool, SynthesisToolChipFamily, SynthesisToolDeviceName, SynthesisToolPackageName, and/or SynthesisToolSpeedValue settings in Task 1.1 of the HDL

Workflow Advisor for the following reason:

Downstream Integration: Can not find family "Zynq Ultrascale+ RFSoC" in device data

Default settings are applied instead.

If you are using the HDL Workflow Command Line Interface, consider making these changes in the HDL Workflow Advisor and using 'Export to Script...' to automatically generate the

appropriate 'hdlset_param' commands.

Error in hdlcoder.runWorkflow (line 27)

hwcli.runWorkflow( varargin{:} );

Error in buildSubSystemCodeOut (line 186)

hdlcoder.runWorkflow([SubSystem_tb '/' SubSystem_name], hWC);

May I know the version of MATLAB you are using?

I wonder if this can occur due to faulty installation of MATLAB or any support packaages. Can you double check if the installation went well?

Thanks

This is for MATLAB 2019a. I believe the installation went well. When I type the command 'ver' I get:

Glad the solution helped.

It is quite possible the device you are planning to use is not supported in 19a.

You can check this page in your installed version of MATLAB for supported devices.

https://www.mathworks.com/help/hdlcoder/gs/language-and-tool-version-support.html

I can see the above page states Zynq Ultrascale+ is supported in 20a.

[Ben Kistler]

I can't seem to find if these devices are supported in 19a. HDL Coder seems to have both the Zynq Ultrascale+ and Zynq Ultrascale+ RFSoC devices listed in those options (see associated image), but the documentation doesn't specify the RFSoC support. Is there a place I can check to see if those devices are supported for 19a?
