HDL Verifier Cosimulation Model Generation in HDL Coder™
This example shows how to generate a cosimulation model in of HDL Coder and integrate the generated HDL code into an HDL Verifier™ workflow. Automation of cosimulation model generation enables seamless verification of the generated hardware design.
Quick Introduction
Cosimulation is a challenging task, especially with automatically generated code; one has to keep in-sync various aspects of the source model including sample rates, feedforward/feedthrough systems, and other various parameters and settings used during code generation while setting up the HDL Verifier block and the target EDA Simulator.
The automated cosimulation model generation takes the guess-work out of the HDL cosimulation block and simulator setup by deciphering all the compiled model and code generation information; in addition all the automated settings are documented in the generated scripts. The end result is a cosimulation model ready to verify the generated code.

Generating the Cosimulation Model
Let us take a simple accumulator design in Simulink and automatically generate a cosimulation model for it as a part of test bench generation.

Generate HDL Test Bench with Cosimulation Model
HDL Coder supports generation of cosimulation model with an HDL Verifier block for Mentor Graphics 'Modelsim' or Cadence 'Incisive'
% Now as a part of test bench generation specify that in addition to the % textual based test bench a cosimulation model needs to be generated. Use % the new makehdl parameter 'GenerateCosimModel' with value 'ModelSim' or % 'Incisive' to choose between the two HDL Verifier blocks to generate the % cosimulation model. makehdltb('hdl_cosim_demo1/MAC', 'targetlang', 'vh', 'GenerateCosimModel', 'ModelSim')

(Optional) Generate HDL Code Coverage Report and Database
To instrument the HDL Simulator to generate a code coverage database, either:
a.) On the 'HDL Code Generation > Test Bench' pane, select the check box labeled 'HDL code coverage'.
b.) When you call 'makehdltb', set 'HDLCodeCoverage' to 'on'. For example:
makehdltb('hdl_cosim_demo1/MAC', 'targetlang', 'vh', 'GenerateCosimModel', 'ModelSim','HDLCodeCoverage','on');
The HDL code coverage artifacts are generated in the source directory after the test bench is simulated.
New Code Generation Messages
As you can see from the following additional code generation messages in the command window a cosimulation model 'gm_hdl_cosim_demo1_mq' is generated; In addition to the code generated in the target directory 'hdlsrc' an additional cosimulation script 'gm_hdl_cosim_demo1_mq_tcl.m' is generated to prepare the target simulator for cosimulation with Simulink.

Cosimulation Model Stimulus and Response Capture
As can be seen from the cosimulation model the original device under test (DUT) is intercepted by two subsystems 'ToCosimSrc' and 'ToCosimSink'; As shown below the purpose of these two subsystems is to capture the stimulus and the response of the DUT and use it for driving the cosimulation using 'Goto' blocks. The number of 'Goto' blocks in each of the following subsystem match the number of inputs and outputs of the DUT.
open_system('gm_hdl_cosim_demo1_mq/ToCosimSrc') open_system('gm_hdl_cosim_demo1_mq/ToCosimSink')
Stimulus to the HDL Cosimulation Block
The stimulus that is originally driving the DUT is fed to the fully configured HDL cosimulation block using the 'From' block as shown below. In some cases input stimulus signals cannot be directly fed to the HDL Cosimulation block; for example the HDL Cosimulation block does not allow complex and vector signals and in such cases further massaging of the input stimulus signals is done automatically. In the current model the 'From' blocks directly feed the contents of corresponding 'Goto' blocks.
open_system('gm_hdl_cosim_demo1_mq/FromCosimSrc')
Comparison of the Results
The response from the original DUT is compared with the response from the HDL Cosimulation block in HDL Verifier using the Sink blocks provided by Simulink for visualization of the response data.
open_system('gm_hdl_cosim_demo1_mq/Compare')
Assertion Checking in the Generated Model
For each output of the device under test subsystem the following assertion-checking model is generated that checks the original output ('dut ref') with cosimulation output ('cosim') and generates assertion messages when the input to the assertion block detects a mismatch.
open_system('gm_hdl_cosim_demo1_mq/Compare/Assert_Out1')
Using Assertion Blocks
Assertions are enabled in the Assertion block but do not stop simulation. If as a part of cosimulation there are any assertions from the following block you should see a warning from the Assertion block:
Warning: Assertion detected in 'gm_hdl_cosim_demo1_mq/Compare/Assert_Out1/AssertEq' at time 1.000000
open_system('gm_hdl_cosim_demo1_mq/Compare/Assert_Out1/AssertEq')
HDL Cosimulation Block Setup
The HDL Cosimulation block is automatically populated with the compiled input output interface of the DUT. The 'Ports' panel is fully populated with 'Full HDL Name', 'Sample Time' and 'Data type' information. Similarly various HDL Cosimulation block setup parameters such as TimeScale and tcl port panes are automatically populated. Note that cosimulation model is always configured in the 'Shared Memory' connection method.
open_system('gm_hdl_cosim_demo1_mq/MAC_mq')
Target Simulator Launch and Setup
Now let's look at the automation associated with the launch and setup of the target simulator (ModelSim or Incisive). As can be seen in the top level of the generated model, a Subsystem with the name 'Start Simulator' is generated with the following callback function; this subsystem is used to launch the target simulator of choice.
get_param('gm_hdl_cosim_demo1_mq/Start Simulator', 'OpenFcn')
ans =
'try
cosimDirName = pwd;
cd 'hdlsrc/hdl_cosim_demo1';
vsim('tclstart',gm_hdl_cosim_demo1_mq_tcl);
cd (cosimDirName);
clear cosimDirName;
catch me
disp('Failed to launch cosimulator with "vsim"');
disp (me.message);
cd (cosimDirName);
clear cosimDirName;
end'
Simulation of the Cosimulation Model
The following script is executed on launch
vsim('tclstart',gm_hdl_cosim_demo1_mq_tcl)The MATLAB command 'vsim' for ModelSim (or 'hdlsimulink' for Incisive) launches the target simulator from within MATLAB environment with the necessary setup for cosimulation. The 'vsim' command is invoked with the 'tclstart' option that accepts an tcl string that configures the simulator on its launch. The file 'gm_hdl_cosim_demo1_mq_tcl' is also automatically generated by HDL Coder along with the cosimulation model.
Contents of the Generated tclstart Command File
The generated tclstart file contains commands for configuring the launched simulator as well as comments about how various settings of Cosimulation model are generated.

Header Comments in the 'tclstart' File
At the top level, the comments specify the source and generated model names of the DUT portion of the model for which code is generated and being co-simulated. The cosimulation HDL Verifier DUT is placed in parallel with our generated model DUT, (which captures any modifications/changes to bit-true or cycle-accuracy of the original model DUT as a part of code generation)
Test Bench Options Affecting Cosimulation Model Generation
The next part of the tclstart script file shows all the makehdltb test bench parameters supported by HDL Coder and their initial values used in cosimulation scripts.
ClockName, ResetName, ClockEnableName ClockLowTime, ClockHighTime, ClockPeriod ResetLength, ClockEnableDelay, HoldTime
Model Sample Times and Mapping of DutBaseSampleTime to ClockPeriod
The next part of the comment section covers sample times in the model and how they influenced clocking of the HDL Cosimulation block in HDL Verifier.
N = (ClockPeriod / DutBaseSampleTime) * OverClockFactor 1 sec in Simulink corresponds to 10ns in the HDL Simulator(N = 10)
Generated 'tclstart' Script Output
The function in 'gm_hdl_cosim_demo1_mq_tcl' generates the necessary tcl command string (tclCmds).
If the 'EDAScriptGeneration' option is turned 'on' and compilation do files are generated for ModelSim as part of 'makehdl', then a single 'do' command is generated. If the 'EDAScriptGeneration' option is turned 'off', then explicit compilation commands are added for compiling the generated HDL code for the DUT.
Wave commands are added for all top-level interface signals.
Pre-simulation Commands
In the HDL Cosimulation block, the "Pre-simulation Tcl commands" parameter contains force commands that drive the clock bundle (clock, clock-enable, reset). The "Time to run HDL simulator before cosimulation starts" parameter initiates simulation with a run time necessary to bring the chip out of reset.
get_param('gm_hdl_cosim_demo1_mq/MAC_mq','TclPreSimCommand')
ans =
'puts "Running Simulink Cosimulation block.";
puts "Chip Name: --> hdl_cosim_demo1/MAC";
puts "Target language: --> vhdl";
puts "Target directory: --> hdlsrc/hdl_cosim_demo1";
puts [clock format [clock seconds]];
# Clock force command;
force /MAC/clk 0 0ns, 1 5ns -r 10ns;
# Clock enable force command;
force /MAC/clk_enable 0 0ns, 1 37ns;
# Reset force command;
force /MAC/reset 1 0ns, 0 27ns;

Launching the Simulator
Double clicking the Start Simulator launches the simulator with the tcl commands in the generated 'tclstart' MATLAB script. Once the simulator is launched all the generated code is compiled and the HDL Cosimulation block is ready for simulation.
