| MATLAB® & Simulink® Release Notes for R2008a | |
R2008a contains two new products.
Co-simulate and verify VHDL and Verilog using Synopsys Discovery VCSMX | |
Build, test, and optimize code for embedded microprocessors using Green Hills® MULTI® |
EDA Simulator Link™ DS is a cosimulation interface that provides a fast bidirectional link between MATLAB® and Simulink® software and the Synopsys® Discovery™ VCSMX® family of simulators. This product enables you to use MATLAB and Simulink with Synopsys Discovery for efficient validation of HDL code. It provides native cosimulation support for Verilog, VHDL, and mixed-language designs.
Using the EDA Simulator Link DS product, you can use MATLAB as a test bench providing stimulus and analyzing the response from an HDL component. MATLAB M-files can also be incorporated as components in a Discovery simulation model, enabling simulation of the complete system before all the HDL design elements are available.
EDA Simulator Link DS provides full two-way support for cosimulation using Simulink. You can substitute HDL implementations for blocks in a Simulink diagram or use Simulink models as test benches for HDL blocks from a Discovery simulation.
Full VHDL, Verilog, and mixed-language cosimulation support
MATLAB test bench capability, enabling the use of MATLAB code to stimulate HDL code and check its response
MATLAB component capability, enabling simulation of MATLAB code in place of entities not yet coded in HDL
User-selectable shared-memory and TCP/IP-socket communications modes
Interactive or batch mode cosimulation, debugging, testing, and verification of HDL

Note Embedded IDE Link™ MU was released via the Web after R2007b but before R2008a. |
Embedded IDE Link MU software automatically deploys code generated from Simulink® models into the Green Hills MULTI integrated development environment (IDE). The code can be executed on a wide range of microprocessors supported by MULTI, including Freescale™ MPC5554 and MPC7447, NEC® V850, and Analog Devices® Blackfin®.
With the Embedded IDE Link MU product, you can run processor-in-the-loop simulation tests in MULTI using your Simulink model as the test harness. You can also use MATLAB software to interactively graph and analyze results while you test and debug code within MULTI, regardless of whether the code was manually written or generated from a Simulink model.
Connects MATLAB and Simulink to Green Hills® MULTI® using high-speed interfaces
Supports PowerPC® and other popular microprocessors from Freescale, NEC and Analog Devices™
Enables processor-in-the-loop (PIL) testing for object code verification
Creates projects and downloads them automatically to instruction-set simulators or embedded hardware
Offers real-time support for popular microprocessors including Freescale™ MPC5554 and Analog Devices® Blackfin®
