Qualcomm Hexagon Hardware Support from Embedded Coder

Generate code optimized for Qualcomm Hexagon NPU, CPU, and LPAI with Embedded Coder

The Qualcomm® Hexagon® Support Package enables you to model advanced embedded applications in MATLAB and Simulink and generate optimized code for Qualcomm Hexagon NPU, CPU and LPAI. You can test and validate your embedded application with processor-in-the-loop (PIL) simulations.

To accelerate design and verification of your embedded application, you can:

  • Use the QHL scalar processor and HVX vector processor libraries
  • Integrate with third-party software like Qualcomm Hexagon SDK and Qualcomm AI Engine
  • Generate optimized code using DSP blocks, DSP objects, math operators, and math functions
