Implement Reciprocal Block with Control Signals
This example shows how to implement the control-signal based Reciprocal block and use it to generate HDL code.
Open and Run Simulink Model
Specify the input data values as a linear sweep. You can change these values according to your requirements
reciprocal_input = fi(1/2^10:1/2^18:1,0,18,18)';
Specify the word length for fixed-point datatypes and the latency for the model. For more information on the latency calculation, see Reciprocal.
WL_recip = 18; recip_latency = 41;
Open the hdlcoder_reciprocal_shiftadd_control
model and specify a stop time sufficient to process all the input combinations.
stoptime_recip = length(reciprocal_input)-1+recip_latency; open_system('hdlcoder_reciprocal_shiftadd_control') sim('hdlcoder_reciprocal_shiftadd_control')
This figure shows the output waveform when you simulate the model. The dataOut
output is valid when validOut
is 1
.
Validate Simulink Output By Using Reference Output
To validate the output of the Simulink model, compare this output with a reference values. Compute the reference output by using the reciprocal
operation.
ref_reciprocal = 1./double(reciprocal_input);
Use logical indexing to extract valid output.
implementation_reciprocal = simulink_reciprocal(valid_output);
Plot the comparison results by using the comparison_plot_reciprocal
function. The maximum error value is significantly smaller than the output of the model.
comparison_plot_reciprocal(ref_reciprocal,implementation_reciprocal,9,'reciprocal linear input');
Maximum Error reciprocal linear input 1.525867e-05 Maximum PctError reciprocal linear input 1.522159e-03
Generate HDL Code for Reciprocal Implementation
Check HDL settings of the model by using the hdlsaveparams
function.
hdlsaveparams('hdlcoder_reciprocal_shiftadd_control')
%% Set Model 'hdlcoder_reciprocal_shiftadd_control' HDL parameters hdlset_param('hdlcoder_reciprocal_shiftadd_control', 'Backannotation', 'on'); hdlset_param('hdlcoder_reciprocal_shiftadd_control', 'HDLSubsystem', 'hdlcoder_reciprocal_shiftadd_control/Reciprocal'); hdlset_param('hdlcoder_reciprocal_shiftadd_control', 'ResetType', 'Synchronous'); hdlset_param('hdlcoder_reciprocal_shiftadd_control', 'SynthesisTool', 'Xilinx Vivado'); hdlset_param('hdlcoder_reciprocal_shiftadd_control', 'SynthesisToolChipFamily', 'Virtex7'); hdlset_param('hdlcoder_reciprocal_shiftadd_control', 'SynthesisToolDeviceName', 'xc7v2000t'); hdlset_param('hdlcoder_reciprocal_shiftadd_control', 'SynthesisToolPackageName', 'fhg1761'); hdlset_param('hdlcoder_reciprocal_shiftadd_control', 'SynthesisToolSpeedValue', '-2'); hdlset_param('hdlcoder_reciprocal_shiftadd_control', 'TargetDirectory', 'hdl_prj\hdlsrc'); hdlset_param('hdlcoder_reciprocal_shiftadd_control', 'TargetFrequency', 500); hdlset_param('hdlcoder_reciprocal_shiftadd_control', 'Traceability', 'on'); % Set SubSystem HDL parameters hdlset_param('hdlcoder_reciprocal_shiftadd_control/Reciprocal', 'FlattenHierarchy', 'on'); hdlset_param('hdlcoder_reciprocal_shiftadd_control/Reciprocal/LumpLatency', 'Architecture', 'MATLAB Datapath'); % Set SubSystem HDL parameters hdlset_param('hdlcoder_reciprocal_shiftadd_control/Reciprocal/LumpLatency', 'FlattenHierarchy', 'on'); hdlset_param('hdlcoder_reciprocal_shiftadd_control/Reciprocal/Reciprocal', 'Architecture', 'ShiftAdd'); % Set Product HDL parameters hdlset_param('hdlcoder_reciprocal_shiftadd_control/Reciprocal/Reciprocal', 'LatencyStrategy', 'Max'); hdlset_param('hdlcoder_reciprocal_shiftadd_control/Reciprocal/ValidLine', 'Architecture', 'MATLAB Datapath'); % Set SubSystem HDL parameters hdlset_param('hdlcoder_reciprocal_shiftadd_control/Reciprocal/ValidLine', 'FlattenHierarchy', 'on');
To generate HDL code for the Reciprocal block in the model, use the makehdl
function.
makehdl('hdlcoder_reciprocal_shiftadd_control/Reciprocal') close_system('hdlcoder_reciprocal_shiftadd_control') close all;
