Hardware-Software Co-Design

Deploy partitioned hardware and software on a target hardware platform

Hardware-software co-design is designing a system that you can deploy on a combination of hardware and software. Deploy your MATLAB^® or Simulink^® design:

As hardware and software on a single device with system-on-chip (SoC) platforms, such as Xilinx^® Zynq^® and Intel^® SoC.
On standalone FPGA boards, such as an Intel FPGA or a Xilinx FPGA board.
On platforms with separate FPGA and processor, such as the Simulink target machine with FPGA I/O boards.

You can partition your design to generate the hardware that targets the FPGA fabric and the software that runs on the embedded processor. See Hardware-Software Co-Design Workflow for SoC Platforms.

Hardware Software Co-Design Basics
Run the hardware software co-design workflow for SoC platforms and standalone FPGA boards
Model Design and Software Interface
Model algorithm to map DUT ports to AXI interfaces and generate software interface to probe and rapidly prototype HDL IP core
Custom IP Core Generation
Generate an HDL IP core that contains HDL code for deployment on standalone FPGA boards, Speedgoat boards, Xilinx Zynq-7000 platform, or Intel SoC Devices
Custom Reference Design
Create your own custom reference design for integrating the generated IP core into the target SoC device, Speedgoat board, or the standalone FPGA boards
Xilinx Zynq Platform
Generate and deploy HDL code and embedded software on Xilinx Zynq-7000 platform
Intel SoC Devices
Generate and deploy HDL code and embedded software on Intel SoC Devices
Simulink Real-Time FPGA I/O Modules
Generate and deploy HDL code on Simulink Real-Time™ FPGA I/O Modules (requires Simulink Real-Time)
Standalone FPGA Boards
Generate and deploy HDL code on Intel or Xilinx boards
