Aldec Active-HDL supports Simulink

Seamless integration with Simulink-based DSP tools

11th April 2007 - Aldec has announced that Active-HDL coupled with the MathWorks' Simulink DSP tool now provides support for fixed-point types and HDL co-simulation of black-boxes, which allows seamless integration with Simulink-based DSP tools.
The new Simulink interface simplifies verification of hardware designs by enabling direct co-simulation of mathematical and HDL hardware components of system-level designs, according to Aldec.
The interface allows successive replacement of mathematical models describing the system operation with their equivalent target HDL components. The interface also reduces time-to-market by filling the gap between high-level abstraction of algorithmic modeling and FPGA and ASIC-oriented low-level hardware modeling.
The Simulink Interface is available today and is provided as part of the standard Active-HDL (PE and EE) configuration for no additional charge. The interface is sold as a separate add-on option for all other product configurations.
