Introduction to Link for Cadence Incisive

Link for Cadence Incisive software integrates MATLAB and Simulink into your integrated circuit development flow. It lets you cosimulate and verify hardware description language (HDL) code using Incisive^® platform simulators from Cadence Design Systems.

Link for Cadence IncisiveVersion 1.0 includes these features:

• Native Verilog support and support for VHDL via Verilog modules

• Connection of a Simulink model to one or more Incisive simulators

• MATLAB test bench capability, enabling the use of MATLAB code to stimulate and check HDL code

• MATLAB component capability, enabling simulation of MATLAB code in place of entities not yet coded in HDL

• User-selectable communication modes between MATLAB and Simulink and the Incisive simulator, which provides shared memory (for faster performance) and TCP/IP sockets (for versatility)

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

Link for Cadence Incisive Version 1.0 also includes the following beta-level feature:

HdlServer.m for Managing Multiple HDL Simulator Connections

Link for Cadence Incisive 1.0 contains a preliminary, beta-level scripting solution, HdlServer.m. As a replacement for nclaunch.m for Simulink connections, HdlServer.m adds capabilities for managing multiple HDL simulator connections, both remotely and locally. The script also allows for cross-platform connections, including using MATLAB and Simulink on a Windows machine. For more information, type

>> help HdlServer

at the MATLAB prompt. If you have feedback about this beta feature, please contact The MathWorks.
