Family

Specify target device chip family for the model

Model Configuration Pane: Target

Description

Specify the target device chip family for your model as a character vector. When you specify the Synthesis Tool, HDL Coder™ populates the Family, Device, Package, and Speed with default values for that tool. To find the chip family for your target device, at the MATLAB^® command line, enter hdlcoder.supportedDevices. Then, open the linked report and find your target device details.

Settings

' ' (Default)

Specify the target device chip family for your Simulink^® model as a character vector.

Tips

For example, if your SynthesisTool is Xilinx Vivado, you can specify Virtex7 as the SynthesisToolChipFamily when you generate HDL code for the symmetric_fir subsystem inside the sfir_fixed model using either of these methods.

Pass the parameter as an argument to the makehdl function.

makehdl('sfir_fixed/symmetric_fir', ... 
        'SynthesisToolChipFamily', 'Virtex7')

When you use hdlset_param, you can set the parameter on the model and then generate HDL code using makehdl.
```
hdlset_param('sfir_fixed','SynthesisToolChipFamily', 'Virtex7')
makehdl('sfir_fixed/symmetric_fir')
```
