Matlab-to-Gates for Xilinx

May 05, 2016 3 Replies

Does Xilinx still make a Matlab (not Simulink) -to-gates tool? I don't thi nk so, but I was just wondering. Not that I'm looking for one; I was just wondering. In theory, it would be nice, since I model most things in Matla b before writing Verilog, but such tools usually aren't great at optimizing .

Do you mean Xilinx System Generator? I think, here you can find more info about its current state.

With best regard, Wojtek

I meant *code* conversion, not Simulink (schematic) conversion.

So sorry, I'm not aware of availability of such tool now. For C written algorithms you may use their HLS. I've used it a little, and it does its job, however the generated code is o bviously not intended to be human-legible ;-). The generated code is usually better (in terms of logic consumption and max imum clock frequency) than my "quick&dirty" VHDL solutions, but slightly wo rse then "thoroughly handcrafted" VHDL.
