matlab to vhdl

Hi

Nice idea but i'am not sure that you will get a compact desing in vhdl,
you are look for easy work but not for the best.

I think you can convert from matlab to c and from c to vhdl(i think is prog from c to vhdl ),
but carefull some time loop function will multiply the desing in vhdl.

Also try ask at matlab for utility maybe they will give you the answer.

Best regards.

matlab to vhdl conversion

Till now I dont know there is some SW to convert C<=> VHDL , so I dont expect you to find such conversion from Matlab to VHDL.
Note: If anyone find SW to convert from C <=> VHDL, please PM

Thanks in advance

convert matlab to vhdl

mates..this is what iam crying for last 6 months..

systemgenerator will give vhdl code as well as testbench codes for matlab scripts specific for dsp related apps,,


can anyone provide a full version of system generator

converting simulink model to vhdl

https://www.mathworks.com/products/connections/product_main.shtml?prod_id=304

The Xilinx System Generator is a plug-in to Simulink that enables designers to develop high-performance DSP systems for Xilinx FPGAs. Designers can design and simulate a system using MATLAB, Simulink, and Xilinx library of bit/cycle-true models. The tool will then automatically generate synthesizable Hardware Description Language (HDL) code mapped to Xilinx pre-optimized algorithms.

matlab to vhdl converters

www.accelchip.com

Is a company offering Matlab -> VHDL conversion tool.

Like most tools that generate code, it is a bit messy.

converting matlab code into vhdl code

HI

If you work with ALTERA, you can try DSP Builder.
It converts SIMULINK models to VHDL code, that can be downloaded
to development board for in circuit testing.

Bye

how to generate vhdl code in matlab

There are basically two tools:
-DSP Builder for Altera devices, and
-System generator for Xilinx devices

I believe System Generator from Xilinx is the better choice

Good luck

generate hdl matlab

Will a simple FIR or IIR filter for input analog signal frequencies of less than 100Hz be able to fit onto a Spartan II with 30K gates?

converting simulink to hdl

Hi!

Depends on n° of tabs and the n°bits for coeficent, if you are not sure if it fits, you can reduce the numbers of tabs or bits for coef.

Good luck, Bart

P.S. the way you will implement it is also important,

serial -> slow but less slice
parallel -> fast but lot of slice

matlab vhdl converter

If I have an ADC that is serial, is it better to implement with serial, or convert it to parallel with a shift register?

Seconldly, are there any special considerations for picking the ADC, will any ADC work? The one I'm thinking of is SPI controlled.

Serials inputs are allways converted to parallel, this is simple.
You don't want to us serial buses inside FPGA.

Be careful on VCC, see if ADC does not use 5V and your FPGA is only 3.3 tolerant. Fireworks warning. :)

The other consideration is the sampling freq., you can not use 200Mhz ADC on XC4000 series it is to fast for the FPGA.

The way you controll ADC is not so important, SPI is good and easy to do.

builder matlab vhdl

you bring up a good point on VCC issues, how is this typically done in FPGA designs, the majority of chips I'd like to work with are 5V CMOS devices, how do I interface these safely to an FPGA running at a lower I/O voltage of 3.3V or 2.5V? Is there an I/O speed loss with this interface?

how to convert a simulink to vhdl

Hi!

See FPGA family handbook if the device you chose is Vcc tolerant.


Is there an I/O speed loss with this interface
,
if you use resistor it is possible, a little loss, but nothing serius, if you use level translator IC 5V -> 3.3V no loss will apear.

converting simulink model to hdl

what types of level translators are used with FPGA designs? can you give the names of actual chips to do this?

BIT BIDIRECTIONAL 3.3V TO 5V TRANSLATOR or
BIT BIDIRECTIONAL 5V TO 3.3V TRANSLATOR

74FCT164245T but there are others,

search on google with keyword: Level translator XX V to YY V

Good luck

convertire matlab in vhdl

Where can I buy the 74FCT164245T?

More importantly, where can I buy single quantities of Xilinx FPGA's?
