Compiling a Model for Hardware Co-Simulation
Compiling a Model for Hardware Co-Simulation
Once your hardware board is installed, the starting point for hardware co-simulation is the
System Generator model or subsystem you would like to run in hardware. A model can be
co-simulated, provided it meets the requirements of the underlying hardware board. This
model must include a System Generator block; this block defines how the model should be
compiled into hardware. The first step in the flow is to open the System Generator block
dialog box and select a compilation type under Compilation.
For information on how to use the System Generator block, see Compiling and Simulating
Using the System Generator Block.
Choosing a Compilation Target
You may choose the hardware co-simulation board by selecting an appropriate
compilation type in the System Generator block dialog box. Hardware co-simulation
targets are organized under the Hardware Co-Simulation submenu in the Compilation
dialog box field.
When a compilation target is selected, the fields on the System Generator block dialog box
are automatically configured with settings appropriate for the selected compilation target.
System Generator remembers the dialog box settings for each compilation target. These
settings are saved when a new target is selected, and restored when the target is recalled.
Invoking the Code Generator
The code generator is invoked by pressing the Generate button in the System Generator
block dialog box.
The code generator produces a FPGA configuration bitstream for your design that is
suitable for hardware co-simulation. System Generator not only generates the HDL and
netlist files for your model during the compilation process, but it also runs the downstream
tools necessary to produce an FPGA configuration file.
