Can code coverage be used with xilinx system generator blocks

I have a simulink model using xilinx system generator blocks.

I need to create a test bench for it and use a code coverage tool to make sure that the verification of the design is thorough.

I thought one approach would be to try to use the code coverage capabilities of the matlab verification and validation toolbox but it does not give any coverage for the xilinx system generator blocks.

I am currently using matlab R2013b, Xilinx ISE 14.7 and modelsim 10.6g

I would like to know what other people are doing when using xilinx system genrator and matlab for verification purposes

Hi Amish,

The following documentation specifies certain limitations for Code Generation from Xilinx System Generator Subsystems:

Moreover, as you mentioned that you are using R2013b version of MATLAB, please execute the following command in the command-line of MATLAB to get the same documentation specific to your version:
