Can't find Generate HDL option in filterDesigner Toolbox in MATLAB 2024a
Show older comments
I don't have the "Generate HDL" option in my filterDesigner. I looked up some answers said that I need to install Filter Design HDL Coder. After searching, I found that I might just need DSP HDL Toolbox now. Now I have installed HDL Coder, DSP System Toolbox, and DSP HDL Toolbox, but I still can't find the "Generate HDL" option. Need some help.

To get the Generate HDL option in R2024a, you do need the Filter Design HDL Coder product. Please install that product and if the option does not show up, we can try to debug this further.

I will try to see what the issue is. In the meantime, could you please reach out to MathWorks Support who may be able to give you other ways to install the product?

It looks like the product installer does offer Filter Design HDL Coder, so that is a way to get the product. I will try to find out why the Add-on installer does not show Filter Design HDL Coder.

OK, so Filter Design HDL Coder should be available. Could you publish the output of ver (in MATLAB).
