 Capturing your Design
Using tools from The MathWorks to capture system-level designs, in
conjunction with the Xilinx block set and the Xilinx System Generator
for DSP, you will be able to develop complex system which can then
be targeted to Xilinx FPGAs
The MathWorks MATLAB® & Simulink®
MATLAB handles a range of computing tasks in engineering and
science, from data acquisition and analysis to application development.
The MATLAB environment integrates mathematical computing, visualization,
and a powerful technical language. Built-in interfaces let you quickly
access and import data from instruments, files, and external databases
and programs. In addition, MATLAB lets you integrate external routines
written in C, C++, FORTRAN, and Java with your MATLAB applications.
Simulink is an interactive tool for modeling, simulating, and
analyzing complex systems. It enables you to build graphical block
diagrams, simulate digital and analog/mixed-signal systems, evaluate
system performance, and refine your designs. Simulink integrates seamlessly
with MATLAB, providing you with immediate access to an extensive range
of analysis and design tools. Simulink is tightly integrated with
Stateflow® for modeling event-driven behavior. These benefits make
Simulink the tool of choice for control system design, DSP design,
communications system design, and other simulation applications.
Key Features when used in a Xilinx DSP environment
- Build graphical block diagrams, simulate complex systems, evaluate system performance, and refine your designs.
- Model digital, analog/mixed-signal, and control logic components.
- Integrates seamlessly with MATLAB, providing you with immediate access to an extensive range of analysis and design tools.
- Tightly integrated with Stateflow for modeling event-driven behavior.
- Utilize an extensive DSP Libraries.
Xilinx System Generator for DSP
The Xilinx System Generator for DSP bridges the gap between your conceptual
architectural design and the actual implementation in a Xilinx FPGA.
The System Generator for DSP, developed in partnership with The MathWorks
enables designers to develop high-performance DSP systems for Xilinx
FPGAs using the popular MATLAB/Simulink from The MathWorks
Key Features of the Xilinx System Generator for DSP
- Bit and cycle-true simulation of FPGA circuits within a Simulink model
- Automatically generate from this Simulink model a synthesizable Hardware Description Language (VHDL or Verilog) implementation, including a testbench
- Maps specific blocks of your system design to highly optimized Xilinx algorithms also known as IP cores.
