Vitis Model Composer also supports a half
precision floating point data type, which is 16 bits wide
instead of 32 bits, because it consumes less real estate on the target device when implemented
on the FPGA. This is an important consideration when designing in Model Composer. However,
Simulink does not support the half
data type, and this can lead to errors in simulation. The solution is to use
the Model Composer DTC block to convert the half
into the
single
data type supported by Simulink, for those portions of the design that are not in the Model Composer
sub-module and will not be part of the generated output.
