HDL Workflow advisor not recognizing Target Platform: Speedgoat IO333, when Target workflow is set to Simulink Real-Time FPGA IO (running v R2016a)

Setting up speedgoat performance to run HIL testing. Able to connect and run models with the Spartan 6 FPGA (IO331), however when I try to create basic models and run them on the Kintex 7 FPGA (IO333), IO333 is not recognized in the HDL Workflow Advisor, it only recognizes IO's up to IO331-6. Is there any other third party software needed for this other than Xilinx ISE? Or is there a separate way to connect and run models on the Kintex 7? - Couldn't find much mathworks/speedgoat documentation about running models on the Kintex 7.

To enable HDL Coder for Speedgoat FPGA-based I/O modules, you require a dedicated HDL Coder integration package. Also, while the IO331 (Spartan 6) requires Xilinx ISE 14.7, for the IO333 (Kintex 7) you need a specific Xilinx Vivado Suite; the version depends on your MATLAB release. See: www.speedgoat.com/help/page/configuration/refentry_host_software_installation#refsect1_xilinx_hdl_software

The HDL Coder package has to be purchased from Speedgoat, and will be available for download from the online portal (www.speedgoat.com/login).
