Simulink Support for Xilinx FPGA DSP Kits

Xilinx^® FPGA DSP kits from Avnet^® provide complete packages of design software and development boards for rapidly implementing MATLAB^® and Simulink^® models on ready-to-use FPGA development boards equipped with the latest FPGAs from Xilinx. Xilinx FPGA DSP kits feature Virtex-6 and Spartan-6 FPGAs optimized for implementation of signal processing and video/image processing designs.

Xilinx FPGA DSP kits include System Generator for DSP, the Xilinx high-level tool for designing DSP systems. System Generator lets you model DSP algorithms in MATLAB and Simulink, generate HDL code using a device-optimized blockset, and verify FPGA designs for Xilinx devices, all from within Simulink. To help you get started, the kits include ready-to-use FPGA reference designs provided in the form of Simulink models and synthesizable HDL. The Virtex-6 and Spartan-6 kits include a WCDMA Digital Up-Converter/Digital Down-Converter reference design, and the TI OMAP/Spartan-6 FPGA Co-Processing Kit includes a video router reference design.
