Programmatic Workflow

Command-line functions for code generation and configuration and using HDL workflow script for end-to-end workflows

At the command line, you can generate HDL code for Simulink^® models by using the makehdl function. If you want to deploy the generated code to a target FPGA device, you can use the HDL Workflow Advisor. You can export the workflow settings to a script and then run the workflow at the command line. To learn more, see Run HDL Workflow with a Script.
