Code Generation with Workflow Advisor
You can use the HDL Coder app to launch the Workflow Advisor and generate HDL code and synthesize your MATLAB algorithm on the target device. For an example, see Generate and Synthesize HDL Code for Symmetric FIR Filter Using the HDL Workflow Advisor. HDL Workflow Advisor is not available in Simulink® Online™.

Featured Examples
Generate and Synthesize HDL Code for Symmetric FIR Filter Using the HDL Workflow Advisor
Create an HDL Coder™ project and use the MATLAB HDL Workflow Advisor to generate code from a MATLAB® design, verify the MATLAB design with an HDL test bench, and synthesize the generated HDL code. This example uses ModelSim® as the HDL simulation tool and Xilinx® Vivado® as the third-party synthesis tool. For more information on generating HDL code and performing FPGA synthesis programmatically, see Programmatically Generate, Verify, and Synthesize HDL Code from MATLAB Code.
Programmatically Generate, Verify, and Synthesize HDL Code from MATLAB Code
Programmatically perform floating-point to fixed-point conversion, generate HDL code, verify the generated HDL code with an HDL test bench, and synthesize the generated HDL code by using the command-line interface.
Generating Modular HDL Code for Functions
Generate modular HDL code from MATLAB® code that contains functions.
Generate HDL Code from MATLAB Functions That Use Automated Lookup Table Generation
Generate HDL code from a floating-point MATLAB® design that is not ready for code generation. Use the fixed-point conversion process by using the float2fixed setting with the codegen function to generate a lookup table based MATLAB function replacement. Use the new MATLAB replacement function to generate the HDL code.
