How to call vivado from matlab for cosimulation

Hello !

I am working on cosimulation of a specific project between Matlab and ModelSim as HDL simulator. Matlab script, and simulink model communicate using from workspace blocks.

Inside Matlab script I use the following command to lunch ModelSim on batch mode:

tclcmd = { ...

'vsimulink top_tsr -t 1ns -voptargs=+acc ;', ...

'add wave top_tsr/*;', ...

};

vsim('tclstart',tclcmd,'runmode','Batch')

And the following cmd to lunch simulink cosimulation:

Sim_out = sim('TSR_CoSim');

What I want to do now is to implement the same module using cosimulation with Vivado instead of ModelSim.

I have generated the .slx model that contains vivado block.

i just need to call vivado from matlab to make it ready for Cosimulation.

Thank you

The Vivado Simulator cosimulation process is different than that for ModelSim. For Vivado, a shared library containing the Vivado simulation kernel is created that is run in the context of the Simulink model--there is no other Vivado process to launch during the cosimulation.

Running the "Getting Started" example will probably best help you understand the process: https://www.mathworks.com/help/hdlverifier/ug/get-started-simulink-cosimulation-hdl.html

The example covers ModelSim, Xcelium, and Vivado Simulator so be sure to follow the instructions for Vivado Simulator.
