Found unsupported division expression for HDL code generation; Signed input data type is not supported for division with Floor RoundMode.

Hello There,

I got the following error while I'm converting my Matlab Code to HDL-coder

Error : "Found unsupported division expression for HDL code generation; Signed input data type is not supported for division with Floor RoundMode."

Here is the matlab code :

Gx1(nn)=fi(cos_func(dr(nn)),true,16,16).*fi(call_power_func(2.718281828,double(-(double(t(nn)).*(double(t(nn))))/2)),true,16,16);

Notes:

t= (1x100000) double

max(t)= 0.999999000000000

min(t)= 0

Hello There,

I got the following error while I'm converting my Matlab Code to HDL-coder, Can you please help me to fix this error? I simplified my code as below to trace the error, as it looks the Cos function is not working with HDL, even after I created a cos special func.

"Error: Found unsupported division expression for HDL code generation; Signed input data type is not supported for division with Floor RoundMode."

Here is the code:

dr=[0.26,0.36,0.76,0.5,0.75,0.33,0.67,0.87,0.98,0.21];  

dr= fi(dr,true,16,16);

Gx2=zeros(1,10);

Gx2= fi(Gx2,true,16,16);

      for nn=1:1:10;
          Gx2(nn)=cos_func(dr(nn));     
      end

% code end

---

where:

function  y = cos_func( x ) %#codegen

y=cos(x);

end

The cos function is not supported for HDL code generation. You can use a lookup table (predefined array)that stores the cos values and look up the right value based on the input x.

Can you please guide me, how could I create the lookup table ?
