hello , i m working in a project that deals with cryptography....i need to write code in vhdl...

can anyone tell me , whether the matlab code can be converted to vhdl???

Answer 1

[Tim McBrayer]

Walter is mostly correct. HDL Coder has been able to generate HDL code directly from MATLAB code since R2012a. This design flow does not require Simulink to be installed or a Simulink license, but it does require a MATLAB Coder license. For full product details and license dependencies, see the HDL Coder page on mathworks.com.

Answer 2

[Walter Roberson]

Yes. To do it requires Simulink, Fixed Point Designer, and the HDL Coder Toolbox. Any MATLAB functions would have to be coded as MATLAB Function Blocks (formerly called Embedded MATLAB blocks), which can require modification of the code.

Note: the HDL Coder Toolbox is available only for Academic licenses and the Commercial / Professional licenses, and is not available for Student Version or Home licenses.
