Hardware Software Co-Design Basics

Run the hardware software co-design workflow for SoC platforms and standalone FPGA boards

When you partition your design into hardware and software components, use the HDL Coder™ HDL Workflow Advisor to target your design on standalone FPGA boards, SoC devices, and Speedgoat FPGA IO modules. The design consists of the DUT algorithm for which you generate the RTL code and IP core, and software components for which you generate embedded code to run on the processor. You use AXI interfaces to interface between the hardware and software components.
