Run and Verify Generated IP Core

R2026b

Prototype, simulate, and verify generated IP core on your target FPGA device

Run and verify the generated bitstream from your IP core design on the target hardware. This step uses the FPGA-ready bitstream created during IP core generation and deploys it to the FPGA portion of the device. The result is a validated design executing on the target FPGA.

For more details about the workflow, see Targeting FPGA and SoC Hardware Overview (HDL Coder).
