HDL coding standard

Enable the Industry coding standard guidelines

Model Configuration Pane: Global Settings / Coding standards

Description

Specify whether to enable the Industry coding standard guidelines that the generated HDL code must conform to.

Dependencies

When you set the HDLCodingStandard to Industry, configuration parameters such as PackagePostfix, MinimizeClockEnables, MinimizeGlobalResets, and InstancePrefix are ignored.

Settings

None (default) | Industry

Default: None

None

Generate generic synthesizable HDL code. The generated code need not conform with the Industry standard guidelines.

Industry

Generate synthesizable HDL code that follows the industry standard rules supported by HDL Coder™. When you specify the Industry setting, the code generator enables the Report options check box and rules that you can customize in the Coding Standards tab.

When you specify the Industry setting and generate code, HDL Coder generates a standards compliance report. The report displays errors, warnings, messages, and lists the corresponding rules. To filter the report such that the passing rules do not appear, clear the Report options check box.

Tips

To set this property, use the functions hdlset_param or makehdl. To view the property value, use the function hdlget_param.

For example, you can enable the Industry standard guidelines compliance for the symmetric_fir subsystem inside the sfir_fixed model using either of these methods.

  • Use hdlset_param to set the parameter on the model. Then generate HDL code using makehdl.

    hdlset_param('sfir_fixed','HDLCodingStandard','Industry')
makehdl('sfir_fixed/symmetric_fir')

  • Pass the property as an argument to the makehdl function.

    makehdl('sfir_fixed/symmetric_fir','HDLCodingStandard','Industry')

Recommended Settings
