Prepare Model for IP Core Generation
R2026bPrepare a Simulink® model or MATLAB® function for IP core generation by specifying the target hardware platform. This stage transforms the initial design into a partitioned model tailored for deployment on a standalone FPGA, an FPGA on an SoC device, or an FPGA I/O board on Simulink Real-Time™ target machine.
For more details about the workflow, see Targeting FPGA and SoC Hardware Overview (HDL Coder).
