Code Generation with Workflow Advisor
You can use the HDL Coder app to launch the Workflow Advisor and generate HDL code and synthesize your MATLAB algorithm on the target device. For an example, see Basic HDL Code Generation and FPGA Synthesis from MATLAB. HDL Workflow Advisor is not available in Simulink® Online™.

Featured Examples
Get Started with MATLAB to HDL Workflow
Create an HDL Coder™ project and generate code from your MATLAB® design. In this example, you:
Generate HDL Code from MATLAB Code Using the Command Line Interface
Use the HDL Coder™ command line interface to generate HDL code from MATLAB® code, including floating-point to fixed-point conversion and FPGA programming file generation.
Generating Modular HDL Code for Functions
Generate modular HDL code from MATLAB® code that contains functions.
Generate HDL Code from MATLAB Functions That Use Automated Lookup Table Generation
Generate HDL code from a floating-point MATLAB® design that is not ready for code generation. Use the fixed-point conversion process by using the float2fixed setting with the codegen function to generate a lookup table based MATLAB function replacement. Use the new MATLAB replacement function to generate the HDL code.
