Steps to Implement FPGA-Based Design in MATLAB Simulink

1. Configure Simulink for FPGA Development

 Toolbox Required: Install the HDL Coder toolbox for FPGA code generation.
 Open Simulink and create a new model.

2. Create the Circuit in Simulink

Example 1: LED Blinker

Objective: Create a system that toggles an LED on and off at regular intervals.

 Add Blocks:
 Go to the Library Browser and drag the following blocks:
■ Clock (Counter): Use a Counter Limited block to generate a periodic signal.
■ Logic Operations: Add a Compare to Constant block to toggle the LED.
■ Output: Use a Scope block to visualize the LED output or a To Workspace block
to export the data.
 Configure Blocks:
 Set the clock source to represent a system clock.
 Configure the counter to generate a square wave or periodic signal.
 Use the logical operations block to create a toggling condition for the LED.
 Connect and Simulate:
 Connect the blocks as per the logical flow.
 Run the simulation and observe the output on the scope.

Simulink Block Diagram Overview:

 Clock → Counter → Logical Condition → LED Output (Scope/To


Workspace).

Example 2: Traffic Light Controller


Objective: Simulate a traffic light system with Red, Yellow, and Green LEDs using FSM (Finite State
Machine).

 Add Stateflow Chart:


 Drag a Stateflow Chart block from the Library Browser.
 Define states for Red, Yellow, and Green lights.
 Add transitions between states with specific timing conditions.
 Add Outputs:
 Create output signals for each light.
 Assign each light's output to its respective state.
 Run the Simulation:
 Connect the Stateflow outputs to LEDs (scopes or visualizers).
 Simulate and observe the traffic light sequence.

 Stateflow Chart → LED Outputs.

3. Generate HDL Code

 Once the design is verified in Simulink, you can generate the HDL code for FPGA deployment.
1. Go to Apps in Simulink and select HDL Coder.
2. Configure the FPGA-specific settings (e.g., target board, clock constraints).
3. Generate the HDL code using the "Generate HDL" button.

4. Deploy to FPGA

 Use Xilinx Vivado or Intel Quartus to load the generated HDL code onto the FPGA board.
