DPI Generation for MATLAB Code
To generate a DPI component from a MATLAB function, see Considerations for DPI Component Generation with MATLAB.
To use this functionality, download and install the ASIC Testbench for HDL Verifier add-on. This feature also requires MATLAB Coder™.
Not all DPI generation functionalities are available in MATLAB Online™.

Featured Examples
Use Templates to Create SystemVerilog DPI and UVM Components
Generate SystemVerilog direct programming interface (DPI) and universal verification methodology (UVM) components from MATLAB® functions using built-in templates. This example also reviews the generated SystemVerilog and how it relates to the template. This example teaches you basic template capabilities, that you can use to create a custom template.
Generate FIFO Interface DPI Component for UART Receiver
The full workflow of how to generate a SystemVerilog DPI component for a FIFO buffer interface meant to be integrated with a UART receiver. The interface is written in MATLAB, and exported to an HDL simulator. The SystemVerilog files for the UART receiver and its testbench are also provided.
