R2009b, these products were unied under the name EDA Simulator Link. In R2012a, FIL
functionality was added and the product was renamed HDL Verier.
Note that neither HDL Coder nor HDL Verier is currently supported for Macs, only
Windows and Linux platforms, due to lacking vendor support on the Mac.

Using the HDL Coder and Verier it is possible to convert computation-intense MATLAB
functions to HDL code that could be downloaded onto an FPGA chip, which would func-
tion as de-facto math co-processor to the MATLAB environment. It is important to note
some potential limitations of this workow:
