With the Simulink HDL Coder, the MathWorks hopes to have in place the "missing link" that bridges the yawning gap between those high-level Matlab models and synthesizable RTL (see the figure).

“Engineers everywhere use MATLAB and Simulink to design systems and algorithms and now with HDL Coder and HDL Verifier, they no longer have to manually write HDL code or test benches to develop FPGA ...

This image depicts the integration of a TensorFlow model with Simulink for analyzing state-of-charge (SOC) measurements in a simulation and visualizing the output.

Simulink is a block diagram environment for simulation and Model-Based Design of multidomain and embedded engineering systems.
