FPGA VHDL Verification

This is actually possible – and with an average efficiency improvement of 20% to 50% for medium to high complexity FPGAs. Less for data path oriented designs and more for control or protocol oriented ...

Product how-to: Achieving STARC and DO-254 compliance using HDL Coder-generated code

HDL Coder generates target independent, synthesizable Verilog and VHDL code from MATLAB functions, Simulink models, and Stateflow charts. The generated HDL code is bit-true and cycle-accurate to ...

FPGA Snake Game Uses No VHDL At All

We’re really not supposed to start a feature like this; but this hack is awesome. It’s a game of Snake implemented by an FPGA dev board. It uses a 16×16 LED matrix as the display and an SNES ...

FPGA Design Flow Takes Simulink Code Into Synthesis

Thanks to collaboration between The MathWorks and Mentor Graphics, MathWorks’ Simulink HDL Coder users gain a smooth path into synthesis. Mentor’s Precision Synthesis tool now supports HDL generated ...
