SystemVerilog DPI Component Generation

Export Simulink Subsystem or MATLAB Function Using DPI Interface

You can export a Simulink^® subsystem or MATLAB^® function with a DPI interface for Verilog^® or SystemVerilog simulation. The coder wraps generated C code with a DPI wrapper accessed through a SystemVerilog thin interface function.

Simulink subsystem — Access this feature from the Model Configuration Parameters dialog box, under Code Generation. See Generate SystemVerilog DPI Component.
MATLAB function — Generate the component using the dpigen function. See Generate DPI Component Using MATLAB.

HDL Verifier™ supports SystemVerilog DPI component generation with these products and platforms.

Design Format	Required Products	Recommended Products	Supported Platforms
Simulink subsystem	Simulink and Simulink Coder™	Embedded Coder^®	Windows^® 32-bit and 64-bit Linux^® 64-bit
MATLAB function	MATLAB and MATLAB Coder		Windows 64-bit Linux 64-bit

Generate SystemVerilog DPI Test Bench in HDL Coder

If you have an HDL Coder™ license, you can generate a SystemVerilog DPI test bench. Use the test bench to verify your generated HDL code using C code generated from your entire Simulink model, including the DUT and data sources. To use this feature, your entire model must support C code generation with Simulink Coder. You can access this feature in HDL Workflow Advisor under HDL Code Generation > Set Testbench Options, or in the Model Configuration Parameters dialog box, under HDL Code Generation>Test Bench. Or, for command-line access, set the GenerateSVDPITestBench property of makehdltb. See Verify HDL Design With Large Data Set Using SystemVerilog DPI Test Bench (HDL Coder).
