About HDL Verification

• HDL Cosimulation
  

  The HDL Verifier software consists of MATLAB functions, a MATLAB System object™, and a library of Simulink blocks, all of which establish communication links between the HDL simulator and MATLAB or Simulink.

• FPGA Verification
  

  HDL Verifier works with Simulink or MATLAB and HDL Coder™ and the supported FPGA development environment to prepare your automatically generated HDL code for implementation in an FPGA.

• TLM Component Generation
  

  HDL Verifier lets you create a SystemC Transaction Level Model (TLM) that can be executed in any OSCI-compatible TLM 2.0 environment, including a commercial virtual platform.

• SystemVerilog DPI Component Generation
  

  HDL Verifier works with Simulink Coder™ or MATLAB Coder to export a subsystem as generated C code inside a SystemVerilog component with a Direct Programming Interface (DPI).

HDL Verifier Overview
Test and verify Verilog and VHDL designs for FPGAs, ASICs, and SoCs with HDL Verifier. Verify RTL with testbenches running in MATLAB or Simulink using cosimulation with HDL simulators. Use these same testbenches with FPGA and SoC development boards to verify HDL implementations in hardware.
