resource sharing in MATLAB HDL CODER

[itmr]

hi all i am itamar. E
i designed FIR in MATLAB and i want to generate HDL CODE USING MATLAB HDL CODER .
my version support only simulink hdl coder but i know the the newest version support generate HDL directly from matlab code with resorce sharing option. - that method reduce area.
does sombody have this version ? i mean that some one can generate the code according to my matlab cobe and send it to me?
we just want to try it and if it works good and save time we will buy it?
thank you all
itamar

resource sharing is only appropriate if you have designed the matlab/simulink code correctly in the first place. HDL code generation will only work with properly designed algorithms.

hi
what do you mean? if i designed FIR with the basic matlab function i shouldnf use resorce sharing option for HDL CODER?
i mean the tool doesnt automatic recognize my design? and after my resource sharing configuration the tool automatic share the repeated sections?
the matlab demo shows example of the area ooptimization and there is not a special design method...
could you explain what you mean again?

if its a design example, or FFT core that already exists, then you should be ok. If you designed the FFT core yourself, you need to make sure you designed it will the hardware in mind from the start.

OK TrickyDicky - but after the designed the tool suppose to aplly the sharing factor and if there any mistake in my design i will get some error -
any case one of my filters taken from the simulink cores and i just enter the coefficient i calculate - so it mean that the tool suppose to support me no?
