All Cosimulation

  • HDL Cosimulation
    The HDL Verifier™ software consists of MATLAB functions, a MATLAB System object, and a library of Simulink blocks, all of which establish communication links between the HDL simulator and MATLAB or Simulink.
  • Prepare to Import HDL Code for Cosimulation
    Prepare for cosimulation and choose whether to cosimulate your HDL code as a function, System object, or block.
  • Supported Data Types
    If your HDL application needs to send HDL data to a MATLAB function or a Simulink block, you may first need to convert the data to a type supported by MATLAB and the HDL Verifier software.
  • Race Conditions in HDL Simulators
    Describes ways to avoid race conditions in hardware cosimulations with MATLAB and Simulink software.
  • Use HDL Parameters in Cosimulation
    Use Verilog parameters or VHDL generics in cosimulation.
