FPGA Board Manager

Introduction

The FPGA Board Manager is the portal to managing custom FPGA boards. You can create a board definition file or edit an existing one. You can even import a custom board from an existing board definition file.

You start the FPGA Board Manager by one of the following methods:

  • By typing fpgaBoardManager in the MATLAB® command window

  • From the FIL wizard by clicking Launch Board Manager on the first page

  • From the HDL Workflow Advisor (when using HDL Coder™) at Step 1.1

Filter

Choose one of the following views:

  • All boards

  • Only those boards that were preinstalled with HDL Verifier™ or HDL Coder

  • Only custom boards

Search

Find a specific board in the list or those boards that fully or partially match your search string.

Create Custom Board

Start New FPGA Board wizard. See New FPGA Board Wizard. You can find the process for creating a board definition file in Create Custom FPGA Board Definition.

Add Board from File

Import a board definition file (.xml).

Get More Boards
