Avnet Electronics Marketing Americas has introduced a development kit that combines MathWorks MATLAB, Simulink and HDL Coder software tools with the Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA DSP development kit.

“Engineers everywhere use MATLAB and Simulink to design systems and algorithms and now with HDL Coder and HDL Verifier, they no longer have to manually write HDL code or test benches to develop FPGA ...

Last week, FPGA vendor Xilinx released its latest XtremeDSP tools package. While no new tools or boards were announced—only updates of existing ones—Xilinx has dramatically dropped the price of its ...

The official description of the webinar is as follows: Learn how companies are reducing FPGA design cycle time by 33-50% or more by adopting workflows based on MATLAB and Simulink. In this ...

In a move described as a 'significant enhancement' to its product range, MathWorks has launched HDL Coder, which allows HDL code to be generated directly from MATLAB and used to implement fpgas and ...

HDL Verifier helps design verification engineers developing FPGA and ASIC designs to generate UVM components and test benches directly from Simulink.

Although MATLAB is a powerful algorithm development tool, many of its benefits are reduced during the fixed-point conversion process. For example, new mathematical errors are introduced into the ...

Most of the algorithms implemented in FPGAs used to be fixed-point. Floating-point operations are useful for computations involving large dynamic range, ...
