Consider this option if generation or simulation of the default
HDL test bench takes a long time. Generation of a DPI test bench can
be faster than the default version because it does not run a Simulink® simulation
to create the test bench data. Simulation of a DPI test bench with
a large data set is faster than the default version because it does
not store the input or expected data in a separate file. For requirements
to use this feature, see the GenerateSVDPITestBench property.

hdlsrc\sfir_fixed folder.dut — DUT subsystem or model reference nameDUT subsystem or model reference name, specified as a character vector, with full hierarchical path.
Example: 'modelname/subsysTarget'
Example: 'modelname/subsysA/subsysB/subsysTarget'
Specify optional comma-separated pairs of Name,Value arguments.
Name is the argument
name and Value is the corresponding
value. Name must appear
inside single quotes (' ').
You can specify several name and value pair
arguments in any order as Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN.
‘TargetLanguage','Verilog''TargetLanguage' — Target language'VHDL' (default) | 'Verilog'For more information, see TargetLanguage.
'TargetDirectory' — Output directory'hdlsrc' (default) | character vectorFor more information, see TargetDirectory.
'SplitEntityArch' — Split VHDL entity and architecture into separate files'off' (default) | 'on'For more information, see SplitEntityArch.
'GenerateHDLTestBench' — Generate HDL test bench'on' (default) | 'off'The coder generates an HDL test bench by running a Simulink simulation to capture input vectors and expected output data for your DUT. You can disable this property when you use an alternate test bench.
'GenerateCoSimBlock' — Generate HDL Cosimulation block'off' (default) | 'on'Generate an HDL Cosimulation block so you can simulate the DUT in Simulink with an HDL simulator.
For more information, see GenerateCoSimBlock.
'GenerateSVDPITestBench' — Generate SystemVerilog DPI test bench'none' (default) | 'ModelSim' | 'Incisive' | 'VCS' | 'Vivado Simulator'When you set this property, the coder generates a direct programming interface (DPI) component for your entire Simulink model, including your DUT and data sources. Your entire model must support C code generation with Simulink Coder™. The coder generates a SystemVerilog test bench that compares the output of the DPI component with the output of the HDL implementation of your DUT. The coder also builds shared libraries and generates a simulation script for the simulator you select.
Consider using this option if the default HDL test bench takes a long time to generate or simulate. Generation of a DPI test bench is sometimes faster than the default version because it does not run a full Simulink simulation to create the test bench data. Simulation of a DPI test bench with a large data set is faster than the default version because it does not store the input or expected data in a separate file. For an example, see Generate a SystemVerilog DPI Test Bench.
To use this feature, you must have HDL Verifier™ and Simulink Coder licenses. To run the SystemVerilog testbench with generated VHDL code, you must have a mixed-language simulation license for your HDL simulator.
