An Expert’s Guide to Using MATLAB and Simulink for FPGA and SoC Design

Overview

An Expert’s Guide to Using MATLAB and Simulink for FPGA and SoC Design

Join us to learn how Adam Taylor, noted expert in Embedded Systems and FPGAs, uses MATLAB and Simulink with C and HDL code generation to design and develop space and automotive applications. 

Using Model-Based Design, Adam will show algorithm development through hardware implementation, demonstrating how to optimize implementations and reduce development time. Attendees will learn how to use modeling and simulation in MATLAB and Simulink to speed-up their development process by identifying design issues early in the design cycle, then using automatic C and HDL code generation from models to deploying designs to FPGA and SoC hardware. Adam will also cover how to verify that implementations satisfy project requirements using automated methods. 

Highlights

In this webinar, you will learn how to:

• Apply Model-Based Design to modeling and simulation of digital designs for targeting FPGA and SoC hardware.
• Analyze hardware designs and optimize latency, throughput, and resource usage.
• Generate readable, synthesizable VHDL, Verilog, and SystemVerilog for FPGA and SoC implementation.
• Deploy on FPGA and SoC hardware.
• Test and verify hardware implementations.
