HDL Code Generation from MATLAB
Generate HDL Code from MATLAB® algorithms
Implement your MATLAB algorithm in hardware by generating HDL code and deploying that code on an Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) or Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Write the MATLAB algorithm with syntax and functions that are compatible with HDL code generation. If the algorithm uses floating-point data, HDL Coder™ helps you to convert it to a fixed-point algorithm. After you generate HDL code and verify that it matches your original algorithm, deploy the HDL code on your target hardware.
