Custom FPGA Board Definition
Both HDL Coder™ and HDL Verifier™ include a set of predefined FPGA boards that you can use with the FPGA-in-the-loop (FIL) workflow. You can view the lists of these supported boards in the HDL Workflow Advisor tool or in the FPGA-in-the-Loop Wizard. With the FPGA Board Manager, you can add additional boards for use with either of these workflows. To add a board, you need the relevant information from the board specification documentation.
The FPGA Board Manager is the hub for accessing the workflow to create a custom board configuration. You can also access options for:
Importing a custom board
Copying a board definition file for further modification
Verifying a new board

Featured Examples
Add Custom Board Definition for FPGA-in-the-Loop Using JTAG
Support FPGA-in-the-loop (FIL) simulation on a custom FPGA board using JTAG. If HDL Verifier® does not support your FPGA board by default, create a custom board definition in the FPGA Board Manager. This example uses the AMD® Zynq™ 7000 SoC ZC706 evaluation kit with the JTAG interface.
Add Custom Board Definition for FPGA-in-the-Loop Using Gigabit Ethernet
Support FPGA-in-the-loop (FIL) simulation on a custom FPGA board using Gigabit Ethernet. If HDL Verifier® does not support your FPGA board by default, create a custom board definition in the FPGA Board Manager. This example uses the AMD® Kintex™ 7 FPGA KC705 evaluation kit with the GMII Ethernet interface.
