Hierarchical Designs and Synchronous Hardware Behavior

Create subsystems and hierarchical HDL designs with State Control block

The HDL Coder block library contains many blocks that you can add to your Simulink® modeling environment and develop your HDL algorithm. To model large designs, you can divide your model into subsystems and create hierarchical designs. For synchronous hardware behavior and to generate hardware-friendly HDL code, use the State Control block inside the subsystems.

To filter the Simulink Library Browser to show only HDL-supported blocks, enter hdllib. The blocks listed in this section include those blocks that are only available in the HDL Coder library. Blocks such as Foreach Subsystem and Atomic Subsystem are available in the Simulink library in the Library Browser.

For a filtered list of Simulink blocks supported for HDL code generation, see Simulink Block List (HDL Code Generation).
