Implement Sqrt Block with Control Signals
This example shows how to implement the control-signal based Square root block and use it to generate HDL code.
Open and Run the Simulink Model
Specify the input data as a linear sweep. You can change these values according to your requirements.
SQRT_input = fi(1/2^17:1/2^17:1,0,18,17)';
Specify the word length for fixed-point datatypes and the latency for the model. For more information on the latency calculation, see Sqrt.
WL = 18; latency = 20;
Open the hdlcoder_sqrt_bitset_control
model and specify a stop time sufficient to process all the input combinations.
stoptime = length(SQRT_input)-1+latency; open_system('hdlcoder_sqrt_bitset_control') sim('hdlcoder_sqrt_bitset_control')
This figure shows the simulation waveform for the model. You can see that 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 to a reference values. To obtain the reference values, use the sqrt
function. Compute the reference output by using the sqrt
function.
ref_SQRT = sqrt(double(SQRT_input));
Use logical indexing to extract valid output.
implementation_SQRT = simulink_SQRT(valid_output);
Plot the comparison results by using the comparison_plot_sqrt
function. The maximum error value is significantly smaller than the output of the model.
comparison_plot_sqrt(ref_SQRT,implementation_SQRT,1,'SQRT linear input');
Maximum Error SQRT linear input 3.814697e-06 Maximum PctError SQRT linear input 3.803159e-02
Generate HDL Code for Square Root Implementation
Check the HDL settings saved of the model by using the hdlsaveparams
function.
hdlsaveparams('hdlcoder_sqrt_bitset_control')
%% Set Model 'hdlcoder_sqrt_bitset_control' HDL parameters hdlset_param('hdlcoder_sqrt_bitset_control', 'Backannotation', 'on'); hdlset_param('hdlcoder_sqrt_bitset_control', 'HDLSubsystem', 'hdlcoder_sqrt_bitset_control/Sqrt'); hdlset_param('hdlcoder_sqrt_bitset_control', 'ResetType', 'Synchronous'); hdlset_param('hdlcoder_sqrt_bitset_control', 'SynthesisTool', 'Xilinx Vivado'); hdlset_param('hdlcoder_sqrt_bitset_control', 'SynthesisToolChipFamily', 'Virtex7'); hdlset_param('hdlcoder_sqrt_bitset_control', 'SynthesisToolDeviceName', 'xc7v2000t'); hdlset_param('hdlcoder_sqrt_bitset_control', 'SynthesisToolPackageName', 'fhg1761'); hdlset_param('hdlcoder_sqrt_bitset_control', 'SynthesisToolSpeedValue', '-2'); hdlset_param('hdlcoder_sqrt_bitset_control', 'TargetDirectory', 'hdl_prj\hdlsrc'); hdlset_param('hdlcoder_sqrt_bitset_control', 'TargetFrequency', 500); hdlset_param('hdlcoder_sqrt_bitset_control', 'Traceability', 'on'); % Set SubSystem HDL parameters hdlset_param('hdlcoder_sqrt_bitset_control/Sqrt', 'FlattenHierarchy', 'on'); hdlset_param('hdlcoder_sqrt_bitset_control/Sqrt/LumpLatency', 'Architecture', 'MATLAB Datapath'); % Set SubSystem HDL parameters hdlset_param('hdlcoder_sqrt_bitset_control/Sqrt/LumpLatency', 'FlattenHierarchy', 'on'); % Set Sqrt HDL parameters hdlset_param('hdlcoder_sqrt_bitset_control/Sqrt/Sqrt', 'LatencyStrategy', 'Max'); hdlset_param('hdlcoder_sqrt_bitset_control/Sqrt/ValidLine', 'Architecture', 'MATLAB Datapath'); % Set SubSystem HDL parameters hdlset_param('hdlcoder_sqrt_bitset_control/Sqrt/ValidLine', 'FlattenHierarchy', 'on');
To generate HDL code for the Sqrt block in the model, use the makehdl
function.
makehdl('hdlcoder_sqrt_bitset_control/Sqrt') close_system('hdlcoder_sqrt_bitset_control') close all;
