HDL Language Support and Supported Third-Party Tools and Hardware

VHDL and Verilog Language Support

The generated HDL code complies with the following standards:

VHDL-1993 (IEEE^® 1076-1993)
Verilog-2001 (IEEE 1364-2001)

Third-Party Synthesis Tools and Version Support

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

Intel^® Quartus Prime 18.1
Intel Quartus Pro 19.2
Xilinx^® Vivado^® Design Suite 2019.1
Microsemi^® Libero^® SoC 11.8
Xilinx ISE 14.7

To use third-party synthesis tools with HDL Coder™, a supported synthesis tool must be installed, and the synthesis tool executable must be on the system path. For details, see Tool Setup.

FPGA-in-the-Loop Hardware

The FPGAs supported for FPGA-in-the-loop simulation with HDL Verifier™ are listed in the HDL Verifier documentation.

You can also add custom FPGA boards using the FPGA Board Manager. See FPGA Board Customization for details.

For FPGA-in-the-Loop or Customization for USRP^® Device using the HDL Workflow Advisor, a supported synthesis tool must be installed, and the synthesis tool executable must be on the system path. For details, see Tool Setup.

Simulink Real-Time FPGA I/O: Speedgoat Target Hardware

Speedgoat I/O Module	FPGA Device	Synthesis Tool
IO342	Xilinx Kintex UltraScale	Warning `Speedgoat IO331` and its variant `Speedgoat IO331-6` will no longer be supported in R2020b with the `Simulink Real-Time FPGA I/O` workflow. You can still run the workflow for these IO modules in R2020a. In R2020b, use `Speedgoat IO333-325K` or a later Speedgoat IO module that is based on Xilinx Vivado. For more information and to learn about the synthesis tool requirements, see Xilinx HDL Support with Speedgoat IO Modules.
