Hardware Setup

Set up and connect your hardware boards

Description

Hardware boards supported by MathWorks^® require additional setup steps to connect to MATLAB^® and Simulink^® software. The Hardware Setup tool guides you through the hardware setup process. Use this tool to configure a target hardware board for use with FPGA-in-the-loop (FIL), FPGA data capture, and AXI manager over the JTAG, Ethernet, and PCI Express^® interfaces. For the full list of supported boards and interfaces, see Supported Xilinx FPGA Boards.

The hardware setup process for the HDL Verifier™ Support Package for Xilinx^® FPGA Boards comprises these steps:

• Specify a hardware board and interface.

• Configure the network interface card in the host computer (for the Ethernet interface only).

• Copy or transfer the compatible SD card image files for the hardware board to an SD card drive path (for the Ethernet interface on Zynq^® SoC boards only).

• Configure your hardware board to start up from the SD card (for the Ethernet interface on Zynq SoC boards only).

• Install the PCIe driver on the host computer (for the PCI Express interface only).

• Connect your hardware board to the host computer (for the Ethernet interface on Zynq SoC boards only).

• Verify the connection between the host computer and the hardware board.
