Highlights
During this presentation, we will demonstrate how to:
- Model and simulate FOC motor control algorithms in Simulink to evaluate algorithms before testing in hardware
- Perform algorithmic HDL code generation from Simulink models.
- Produce FPGA implementation of algorithm using Microsemi Libero SoC design tools.
- Use FPGA-in-the-Loop simulation on a Microsemi PolarFire Evaluation Kit or a Microsemi SmartFusion2 Advanced Development Kit (boards displayed in image above) to verify the hardware implementation corresponds to the initial Simulink specification model.
