hdlsetup

Set model configuration parameters for HDL code generation

Syntax

hdlsetup(modelname)

Description

hdlsetup(modelname) sets the parameters of the model specified by modelname to values required for HDL code generation.

For a list of the parameters and values this function sets, see Parameter Configurations.

Examples

Model Setup for HDL Code Generation

Use the hdlsetup function to set up a Simulink^® model for HDL code generation.

Open the model before.

modelname="hdlcoder_simple_up_counter";
open_system(modelname);

In the MATLAB Command Window, use the hdlsetup function to set model configuration parameters to values required for HDL code generation.

hdlsetup(modelname);

### ArtificialAlgebraicLoopMsg value is set from 'warning' to 'error' (revert).
### AlgebraicLoopMsg value is set from 'error' to 'warning' (revert).
### InheritOutputTypeSmallerThanSingle value is set from 'off' to 'on' (revert).

You can use the set_param function to change the model settings. For example:

set_param(modelname, "AlgebraicLoopMsg", "error");

Input Arguments

modelname — Name of model

string

Name of the model for which you want to generate HDL code, specified as a string.

Data Types: string

Parameter Configurations

This table lists the model configuration parameters that hdlsetup configures.

Command-Line Parameter Setting	Configuration Parameter Dialog Box Setting
Set Solver to FixedStepDiscrete.	Set Type to Fixed-set and Solver to Discrete (no continuous states).
Set FixedStep to auto.	Set Fixed-step size (fundamental sample time) to auto.
Set EnableMultiTasking to off.	Clear the Treat each discrete rate as a separate task check box.
Set AlgebraicLoopMsg to error.	Set Algebraic loop to error.
Set SingleTaskRateTransMsg to error.	Set Single task data transfer to error.
Set MultiTaskRateTransMsg to error.	Set Multitask data transfer to error.
Set InheritOutputTypeSmallerThanSingle to on.	Select Inherit floating-point output type smaller than single precision.
Set BlockReduction to off.	Clear the Block Reduction check box.
Set ConditionallyExecuteInputs to off.	Clear the Conditional input branch execution check box.
Set DefaultParameterBehavior to Inlined. You can set this parameter at the command line by using set_param or hdlsetup.	Set Default parameter behavior to Inlined. If you want to set this parameter in the Configuration Parameters dialog box, you must have Simulink Coder™.
Set DataTypeOverride to off.	No dialog box prompt.
Set ProdHWDeviceType to ASIC/FPGA->ASIC/FPGA.	Set Device vendor to ASIC/FPGA.
Set ShowLineDimensions.	In the Simulink Editor, on the Debug tab, select Information Overlays > Signal Dimensions.
Set SampleTimeColors to on.	In the Simulink Editor, on the Debug tab, select Information Overlays > Colors.
Set ShowPortDataTypes to on.	In the Simulink Editor, on the Debug tab, select Information Overlays > Alias Data Types.
Set SignalLoggingSaveFormat to Dataset.	No dialog box prompt.

If these settings are incompatible with other configuration parameters in the model, HDL Coder™ displays a warning and lists the model parameters that have to be fixed.
