Introduction to EDA Simulator Link™ DS Software

EDA Simulator Link DS software integrates the MATLAB and Simulink products into your integrated circuit development flow. It lets you cosimulate and verify hardware description language (HDL) code using Synopsys Discovery platform simulators.

EDA Simulator Link DS Release 1.0 includes these features:

• Cosimulate Verilog and/or VHDL code with MATLAB and Simulink

• Mixed-language support with MATLAB through the use of wrappers of the Top-level language around the other HDL blocks

• MATLAB component capability, enabling execution of MATLAB code inside a top-level HDL entity. MATLAB runs as a placeholder for "to-be-coded" HDL

• Frame-based simulation, providing accelerated verification (with the Signal Processing Blockset, available separately)

• User-selectable communication modes between MATLAB or Simulink and Discovery, providing shared memory (for fastest performance) and TCP/IP sockets (for fast performance and versatility)

• Multiple simulation options from one Simulink model, including connection of multiple Simulink HDL cosimulation blocks to one or more Discovery simulators

• Multiple simulation options from MATLAB, including connection of multiple MATLAB components or test benches to one or more MATLAB servers

• Interactive or batch mode cosimulation, debugging, testing, and verification of HDL code from MATLAB
