HDL Coder generates synthesizable SystemVerilog from MATLAB code or Simulink models. ASIC and FPGA Verification with SystemVerilog DPI The SystemVerilog Direct Programming Interface (DPI) acts as an interface between a SystemVerilog simulator and foreign programming languages such as C, enabling the re...

SystemVerilog is not just for Verification! When the SystemVerilog standard was first devised, one of the primary goals was to enable creating synthesizable models of complex hardware designs more accurately and with fewer lines of code. That goal was achieved, and Synopsys has done a great job...
The test module has an interface port while the design module still has individual port signals An interface contains wires and synthesizable methods to perform operations such as sending and receiving transactions. An interface is RTL, just like your design. Here is an interface with 7 signals ...
To design and simulate a synthesizable AHB to APB bridge interface using Verilog and run single read and single write tests using AHB Master and APB Slave testbenches. The bridge unit converts system bus transfers into APB transfers and performs the following functions: ...
VHDL is a bit more abstract than Verilog, which offers advantages and disadvantages. While it is not directly synthesizable, this allows for modeling and simulation prior to gate and wire translation. VHDL resembles more of a traditional programming language due to its strong typing. Because of th...
If you generate RTL code from a Simulink subsystem using HDL Coder, you can generate a SystemVerilog testbench for ASIC verification. This testbench compares the output of the RTL implementation against the results of the Simulink model.
To design and simulate a synthesizable AHB to APB bridge interface using Verilog and run single read and single write tests using AHB Master and APB Slave testbenches. The bridge unit converts system bus transfers into APB transfers and performs the following functions: Latches the address and ...
Certain of the system functions have well-defined meanings, so can theoretically be evaluated at compile-time, instead of using runtime VPI code. Doing so means that VPI cannot override the definitions of functions handled in this manner. On the other hand, this makes them synthesizable, and ...
Currently I am working on an openCL project. It works in simulation, but when I compiled for hardware using Quartus, it could not finish even with a whole weekend! (it's estimated to consume 76% DSP and 78% BRAM) Could the reason be that the generated verilog ...
