HDL Coder enables high-level design for FPGAs, SoCs, and ASICs by generating Verilog and VHDL code. You can use the generated HDL code for FPGA programming, ASIC prototyping, and production design.
HDLs resemble high-level programming languages such as C or Python, but it’s important to understand that there is a fundamental difference: statements in HDL code involve parallel operation, whereas programming languages represent sequential operation. When we write a computer program or firmware ...
What Skills Are Needed to Program an FPGA? Programming an FPGA typically requires knowledge of at least one hardware description language, or HDL. Understanding digital logic design and having a background in electronics or computer engineering is also beneficial. Are FPGAs Suitable for AI and Mach...
LabVIEW FPGA IP Export Utility The LabVIEW FPGA IP Export Utility helps you export algorithms written in LabVIEW FPGA for deployment on third-party hardware. LabVIEW is systems engineering software for applications that require test, measurement, and control with rapid access to hardware and data insi...
Programming FPGAs is much easier than most designers might think. The steps to programming an FPGA include identifying any segments of the design that the designer wants to compose himself/herself, choosing a high-level or hardware description language (HDL), writing the code in a text editor,...
VHDLAnother popular HDL used for FPGA development, VHDL offers a strong type system and supports concurrent and sequential programming styles. SystemVerilogAn extension to Verilog, SystemVerilog enhances the language with additional features for verification, assertions, and testbench development. ...
In a fully connected hardware design workflow, you can useHDL Coder™to generate functionally correct Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL code to begin the hardware design implementation process. This approach has the added advantage of full traceability back to the model and requirements, which is cr...
(HDLs), and the two most common are VHDL and Verilog. Despite the apparent similarity between HDL code and code written in a high-level software programming language, the two are fundamentally different. Software code specifies a sequence of operations, whereas HDL code is more ...
The SystemVerilog Direct Programming Interface (DPI) is an interface between SystemVerilog and programming languages such as C. HDL Verifier can generate SystemVerilog DPI components from MATLAB code or Simulink models for use in ASIC verification. These components can then be used with simulators suc...
Rather than traditional HDL tools, the FPGA is programmed using LabVIEW FPGA for a more intuitive experience to programming the hardware. Accomplish More with NI-DAQmx on CompactRIO Beyond supporting NI-DAQmx on CompactRIO, the driver has also improved to allow for more customization and control. ...
