Research on TLM Model Generation

Hello all,

I am researching on various methods that one can use to generate a TLM Model for a Macro (uses APB bus interface) from an IP-XACT. I did find something relevant on Mathworks. However the very first step says, Open Preconfigured Model -> which is like a Simulink Model. However I dont think we have anything like this. https://de.mathworks.com/help/hdlverifier/examples/getting-started-with-tlm-generator.html#zmw57dd0e8451

However in Step 04, Select TLM Mapping options, I do see an option of importing an IP-XACT file. So i can load it as an input, set other options and generate a TLM template.

Can anyone please brief me on this. If theres a possiblity to use it without having a Simulink Model.

Thanks, Asif

Hey Asif, MathWorks products do have a lot of Transaction Level Model Generation features. You can read about these features in details in the documentation linked to below.

http://www.mathworks.com/help/hdlverifier/transaction-level-model-generation.html

These features are part of MathWorks' HDL Verifier product. Even though Simulink is only a recommended product with HDL Verifier, if one wants to generate TLM's, Simulink Coder is a required product (and Simulink Coder requires Simulink and MATLAB Coder). You can see a table of product requirements in the documentation at the following link.
