  8. Install what you want and what you need. It is recommended to install as shown below. Uncheck System Generator for DSP and do not install it because this is not used and can lead to errors in MATLAB since this is a MATLAB toolbox. To reduce the required disk space, it is sufficient to only install the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC Devices. Other devices can be added later, but cannot be removed.
