Introduction
System Generator is a DSP design tool from Xilinx that enables the use of the MathWorks
model-based Simulink
® design environment for FPGA design. Previous experience with
Xilinx FPGAs or RTL design methodologies are not required when using System
Generator. Designs are captured in the DSP friendly Simulink modeling environment
using a Xilinx specific blockset. All of the downstream FPGA implementation steps
including synthesis and place and route are automatically performed to generate an FPGA
programming file.
