EDA Simulator Link 3.0

Using EDA Simulator Link with MATLAB

With the MATLAB component and MATLAB test bench capabilities, the HDL simulator is the client and MATLAB is the server. The time wheel resides in the HDL simulator because MATLAB algorithms are untimed.

You can connect an HDL simulator to multiple MATLAB components or test benches running on one or more MATLAB servers. A MATLAB server can interface to multiple HDL entities and HDL simulators.

Using the MATLAB test bench capability, you can reuse the MATLAB test bench that was created to verify your MATLAB algorithm to verify your HDL implementation of the algorithm.

MATLAB code as a test bench for an HDL simulator. MATLAB code drives and analyzes the implementation while the block, an HDL implementation, runs in the HDL simulator.

Using the MATLAB component capability, a MATLAB algorithm takes the place of entities not yet coded in HDL, enabling simulation of the complete system before all the HDL design elements are available.
