The Vitis HLS tool has the ability to transform C/C++ design sources into RTL. The Model Composer HDL library contains a Vitis HLS block in the HDL/User-Defined Functions library which enables you to bring in C/C++ source files into a Model Composer model.

Procedure

In this step you will first synthesize a C file using Vitis HLS. You will operate within a Vivado DSP design project, using a design file from MATLAB along with an associated HDL wrapper and constraint file. In Part 2, you incorporate the output from Vitis HLS into MATLAB and use the rich simulation features of MATLAB to verify that the C algorithm correctly filters an image.
