HDL Verifier™ automates the verification of HDL code on Intel® (formerly Altera®) FPGA boards by enabling FPGA-in-the-loop (FIL) testing. FIL testing helps ensure that the MATLAB® algorithm or Simulink® model behaves as expected in the real world, increasing confidence in your silicon implementation. The MATLAB algorithm or Simulink model is used to drive FPGA input stimuli and to analyze the output of the FPGA. With FIL testing, you can verify your design at FPGA speeds, enabling you to run more extensive sets of test cases and perform regression tests on your design.
HDL Verifier supports FIL simulation for select Intel FPGA boards. The board definition files for these boards are included in the Support Package. You can add other FPGA boards for use with FIL with FPGA board customization.
The following device families are supported:
