With Simulink Code Inspector, engineers prepare models for code inspection by using a specific subset of Simulink blocks and model parameters commonly used for high-integrity systems.

With the Simulink HDL Coder, the MathWorks hopes to have in place the "missing link" that bridges the yawning gap between those high-level Matlab models and synthesizable RTL (see the figure).

B&R introduces the second generation of Automatic Code Generation from Simulink under the name "B&R Automation Studio Target for Simulink".

Simulink HDL Coder generates bit-true, cycle-accurate, synthesizable Verilog and VHDL code from Simulink models, embedded Matlab code, and Stateflow charts.
