HDL Coder Mult + Add uses DSP48E1 + fabric

Hi, I tried to use Coder on dsp_subsys1 from: https://www.mathworks.com/help/hdlcoder/ug/modeling-efficient-multiplication-and-division-operations-for-fpga-targeting.html So, I'm expecting that Coder can use just a DSP48E slice, but the Workflow Advisor always generates adder logic in the fabric, in addition to using a DSP slice.
Matlab 2023a, HDL Coder ver4.1, Vivado 2022.2 and VC707 board.
The resets are configured as synchronous. I'm basing my last sentence on this: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/1727185-multiply-and-add-not-correctly-mapping-to-a-single-dsp-slice?s_tid=srchtitle
Help on this would be much appreciated...

Hi @Jerome Davie,
This appears quite peculiar; something seems to be missing. The 'Generic ASIC/FPGA' workflow is the only correct one. I've also tested this on Vivado 2023.1 with MATLAB R2024a and achieved the same expected results.
Can you try this:
  1. Right-click the 'DSP_subsys1' block.
  2. Select HDL Code > HDL Block Properties.
  3. For DSPStyle, select on.
Save & update the model and run the HDL Workflow Advisor again to see any changes.
If this doesn't work, I suggest reaching out to MathWorks Technical Support at: https://www.mathworks.com/support/contact_us.html

Hi @RS,
I missed your comment ( it was collapsed ), but I put the original clock value back in the *.xdc, and then turned on the flag you pointed out and YES(!!) that works ! Your answer is much better ( don't have to mess with the clock constraint ), and that unset flag was the missing piece. I'm going to reach out to support ( for all the good it proabably won't do ) since Mathworks article of Coder generating just the DSP slice is a poor example of selling a product's capability. All they had to do was mention setting of the DSP style flag......
Thanks again,
Jerome

Tonight, I removed Vivado 2022.2 and installed 2022.1 and used the defaults. 1 DSP used and the fabric resource are 25 LUTs and 116 registers ( adaptive pipelining ON/Off makes no diff )... My Hail Mary was to try again changing the clock constraint value ( was 3.33 ), to 4 nS per: https://support.xilinx.com/s/question/0D54U00006xEQyMSAW/dsp48-not-being-setup-correctly?language=en_US
and... BAM !!
I had tried using 4nS with Vivado 2022.2, but it didn't work. Why would changing the clock constraint make it behave ?!
RS, thank you for confirming HDL Coder's synthesis !
