RT-XSG Compatible Software

...

MATLAB Matlab is a technical computing software package that integrates programming, calculation, and visualization. MATLAB  Matlab also includes Simulink; this software package is discussed below. As RT-LAB and RT-XSG work in conjunction with this environment to define models, the user must be familiar with aspects of MATLAB of Matlab as related to Simulink.

Simulink is a software package that enables modeling, simulation, and analysis of dynamic systems.

Models are described graphically, following a precise format based on a library of blocks. RT-XSG uses Simulink to define models that will be converted into configuration data for the targeted platform. It is expected that you have a clear understanding of Simulink operation, particularly regarding the model definition and the model various simulation parameters.

ML Enterprise Edition

AMD-Xilinx is one of the world's major FPGA vendors. The Vivado Design Suite ML Enterprise Edition is a complete set of tools designed by AMD-Xilinx , Inc. to access, manage and generate the configuration data for their SoC/FPGAs. From within MATLABMatlab/Simulink, the System Generator for DSP toolboxVitis Model Composer tool, also designed by AMD-Xilinx , Inc. gives access to a block set suited for implementation on an FPGA. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the Xilinx System Generator for the DSP toolbox. Please refer to the System Generator for DSP AMD-Xilinx Vitis Model Composer User Guide and introductory tutorials for more information on this toolbox.

Although the user does not have to access them manually, many other components from the Vivado Design suite ML Enterprise Edition are indirectly called from both the System Generator for DSP the Vitis Model Composer and RT-XSG toolboxes. Please refer to the Vivado Design Suite ML Enterprise Edition documentation for information on each specific component.

Some of the supported platforms enable the creation of VHDL-only model descriptions. This configuration does not require MATLABMatlab/Simulink as the configuration data generation is performed from within the Vivado Design Suite ML Enterprise Edition Project Navigator.  Detailed information on the use of this feature can be found in the specific platform RT-XSG documentation.

Note: An RT-XSG model is designed from within the MATLABMatlab/Simulink environment. Blocks from the RT-XSG libraries incorporate System Generator blocks under their mask. Moreover, the FPGA User description model must be built using ONLY blocks from the System Generator for the DSP blockset. It is recommended to study the System Generator for DSP the Vitis Model Composer tutorials before starting to use the RT-XSG toolbox.
