how can i create a delay block(like in simulink) with matlab code

I do a FFT project, the data go in and delay for some clock to wait the next data and caculate butterfly. Example if i delay 8 clock then simulink generate 8 register(dff) and shift them every clock, and i want do that in matlab code to generate HDL code. Some one can help me? Thank you!

delay in MATLAB can be modeled using persistent variable.

function y = fcn(u) % Unit delay implementation that maps to a register in hardware
 persistent u_d;
 if isempty(u_d)
    % defines initial value driven by unit delay at time step 0
    u_d = cast(0, 'like', u);
 end

 % return delayed input from last sample time hit
 y = u_d;

 % store the current input
 u_d = u;

this hasnt worked, the outputs are different. the link you sent i think there is an error when converting from Uint to a Fi object.

Have you tried the pause command?

pause: Stop MATLAB exectution temporarily

No, it is register when i generate HDL code. I do a FFT project, the data go in and delay for some clock to wait the next data and caculate butterfly. If i delay 8 clock then simulink generate 8 register and shift them every clock, and i want do that in matlab code to generate HDL code. Sorry my English is weak, thank you!
