Start hdldaemon to Provide Connection to HDL Simulator

Start the MATLAB server as follows:

1. Start MATLAB.

2. In the MATLAB Command Window, call the hdldaemon function with property name/property value pairs that specify whether the EDA Simulator Link software is to perform the following tasks:

   • Use shared memory or TCP/IP socket communication

   • Return time values in seconds or as 64-bit integers

   See hdldaemon reference documentation for when and how to specify property name/property value pairs and for more examples of using hdldaemon.

   For example, the following command specifies using socket communication on port 4449 and a 64-bit time resolution format for the MATLAB function's output ports.

   hdldaemon('socket', 4449, 'time', 'int64')

   Note   The communication mode that you specify (shared memory or TCP/IP sockets) must match what you specify for the communication mode when you initialize the HDL simulator for use with a MATLAB link session using the matlabtb or matlabcp function. In addition, if you specify TCP/IP socket mode, the socket port that you specify with hdldaemon and matlabtb or matlabcp must match. For more information on modes of communication, see Specifying TCP/IP Socket Communication.

The MATLAB server can service multiple simultaneous HDL simulator modules and clients. However, your M-code must track the I/O associated with each entity or client.

Note   You cannot begin an EDA Simulator Link transaction between MATLAB and the HDL simulator from MATLAB. The MATLAB server simply responds to function call requests that it receives from the HDL simulator.
