Recorded Webinar: Real-Time Testing with FPGAs

Engineers working on systems requiring high-speed control algorithms face the challenge of verifying those controls. One of the steps in the verification process is to test the controls in real time with hardware in a lab, field, or other test environment. Traditional real-time testing solutions often cannot reach the megahertz range of performance needed to effectively test these high-speed systems.

In this webinar, we show how you can test these high-speed control algorithms in real time. This solution is based on xPC Target Turnkey real-time systems incorporating an FPGA board and code generated by Simulink HDL Coder.

You will learn how you can:

• Use Simulink, Stateflow, or MATLAB Function blocks to model the algorithm you want to run on the FPGA board
• Use the Simulink HDL Coder Workflow Advisor process to instantiate your design
• Generate a bitstream for the selected FPGA
• Create an xPC Target interface subsystem for programming and communicating with the FPGA
