Custom Reference Design, Part 1: Introduction to the Workflow

Deploying your design to an FPGA requires mapping the inputs and outputs of your design to FPGA pins, AXI registers, or other FPGA blocks. For most popular FPGA devices and boards, MathWorks ships hardware support packages. To deploy your design to a custom board, create and register a custom reference design with MATLAB^®. This introduction describes:

• A high-level overview of the process
• The system design that is used to demonstrate this process in subsequent videos
• Details on the hardware subsystem that will be targeted to the FPGA
