Overview:
When implementing a complex design in an ASIC or FPGA, engineers must be satisfied that the hardware implementation will match the system specification.
Whether your HDL is written from scratch, automatically generated code, previously-written IP, or a mix of the three, you can use the EDA co-simulation link products from the MathWorks to ensure design correctness.
In this webinar you will learn how you can ensure that your HDL implementation matches your MATLAB algorithms and Simulink models. We will illustrate how to model an algorithm in Simulink and MATLAB, create a fixed-point equivalent, and co-simulate with EDA simulators.
You will see how modeling, simulation, and functional verification in a single environment supports design teams, and makes rapid iteration easy. Specifically, we will show how to:
- Develop the Golden Reference models for the algorithm
- Determine how much accuracy is needed to meet performance requirements and to ease creation of a fixed-point model
- Modify the fixed-point model to be more efficient in hardware
- Iterate the design to take advantage of target silicon resources
- Develop the HDL code for early implementation in an FPGA
- Use Co-simulation with EDA tools you already use for functional verification of each implementation iteration
- Verify the performance and behavior at each step in the process
Use the processing power of MATLAB and Simulink to improve your verification analysis of complex signal processing results as part of the co-simulation flow.
A live Q&A session will follow the presentation and demos.
Who should attend?: FPGA and ASIC Design Engineers, Verification engineers, System-level, DSP, and Algorithm engineers designing for FPGA- and ASIC-level products.
