hdlcoder.optimizeDesign on matlab function

I am trying to speed optimized a matlab generated hdl code. I managed to generate the code, synthesize and place and route, all from matlab.

The code functions ok, but reported max speed is too low.

I would like to use hdlcoder.oprimizedesign but it wants a simulunk model, not a matlab function.

Is it possible to feed it matlab function instead? Would it do anything if I simply place a matlab function into a single simulink block?

hdlcoder.optimizeDesign runs Simulink to HDL workflow (makehdl) under the hood.

I have communicated to the dev team the request to make it work with MATLAB to HDL (codegen -config:hdl command)

You can place the MATLAB code/function in a MATLAB function block and follow the Simulink workflow.
