HDL Language Support and Supported Third-Party Tools and Hardware - MATLAB & Simulink (original) (raw)

HDL Coder™ generates HDL code that complies with certain VHDL®, Verilog®, and SystemC™ language standards, with support for several third-party FPGA synthesis tools and out-of-the-box support for some FPGA and SOC boards.

VHDL, Verilog, and SystemC HLS Language Support

The generated HDL code complies with the following standards:

VHDL-1993 (IEEE® 1076-1993)
Verilog-2001 (IEEE 1364-2001)
SystemVerilog-2005 (IEEE 1800-2005)
SystemC 2.3 (IEEE 1666-2011)

Third-Party Synthesis Tools and Version Support

The HDL Workflow Advisor is tested with the following third-party FPGA synthesis tools:

Xilinx® Vivado® Design Suite 2024.1
Xilinx ISE 14.7
Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard 23.1
Intel Quartus Pro 23.3
Microchip Libero® SoC 2024.1
Cadence® Genus 21.18
Cadence Stratus HLS 23.02
AMD® Vitis™ HLS 2024.1

Supported Xilinx Boards

HDL Coder supports these Xilinx FPGA and SOC boards out of the box for the IP core generation workflow:

Artix-7 35T Arty development board, Kintex-7 KC705 development board, Virtex-7 VC707 development board
Versal AI Core Series VCK190 Evaluation Kit
ZedBoard™
Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC ZCU102 Evaluation Kit
Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC ZCU111, ZCU216 Evaluation Kit
Zynq ZC702, ZC706 evaluation kit

Supported Intel Boards

HDL Coder supports these Intel FPGA and SoC boards out of the box for the IP core generation workflow:

Intel Arria® 10 SoC, Arria 10 GX development kit
Cyclone® V SoC development kit Rev. C and Rev. D
Arrow DECA Max 10, Arrow Soc Kit FPGA development board

Supported Microchip Boards

HDL Coder supports the Microchip Polarfire® SoC Icicle kit out of the box for the IP core generation workflow.

Custom Board Support

HDL Coder generates fully-portable, platform-independent, target-optimized code. If your board is not supported out of the box, you can extend the support to your board by:

Manually integrating the generated HDL code into your tool and FPGA project
Generating board-independent IP core and add the IP core repository in your HDL tool.

This support extends to boards and chip families from other vendors such as Lattice Semiconductor Corporation®, NanoXplore, and so on. Additionally, if your board vendor is Xilinx, Intel, Microchip, you can create a custom hardware platform through board definition and custom reference design. To learn how to define a custom board and reference design, see Register a Custom Board and Register a Custom Reference Design. For example, see Define Custom Board and Reference Design for AMD Workflow.
