This getting started exercise will guide you through the step-by-step process of transforming a MATLAB floating-point model into a hardware module that can be implemented in silicon (FPGA or ASIC). The design is a general purpose FIR filter taken from the AccelDSP Examples directory.-This exercise will guide y ou through the step-by-step process of transfo rming a MATLAB floating-point model into a hard ware module that can be implemented in silicon ( FPGA or ASIC).
