DSP Builder or manually written VHDL ?

Hi everyone! I'm currently working on a university project, based on the implementation of FFT on a FPGA. I read about the possibility to develop it using DSP builder with Matlab/Simulink. What...

Bharath thank you for the answer. Do you think that the megacore function for FFT is better than designing a custom version ?

Depends on what you mean by "better". Using the megacore FFT means you don't have to be worry about converting a mathematical algorithm for realization on an FPGA (this may take quite a long time). But you still need to understand the functionality of the megacore module and have a basic understanding of FFT so you can use the megacore IP in your design.

Good luck.
