Zynq Radio QPSK receiver example errors with "block_diagram does not have a parameter named 'HDLCodeGenStatus'

In the Communications Toolbox Hardware Support Package for Xilinx Zynq-Based Radio, when running the QPSK Receiver Simulink model, you see the following error:

===============

You may see this error if you do not have HDL Coder installed. In brief, some HDL Coder configuration information was mistakenly saved onto the receiver Simulink model, and a check will fail if you don't have HDL Coder installed.

A workaround is to run the following commands at the command prompt then save the model.

csActive = getActiveConfigSet('zynqRadioQPSKRxAD9361AD9364SL');

csActive.detachComponent('HDL Coder');

This will remove the problematic configuration information. Be sure to save the model, close it and open it again.
