- Improved performance:
- DSP Builder now uses the FP DSP block for FP16 and Bfloat16, correctly-rounded, Add, Sub or AddSub on Intel Agilex devices
- Provided access to DSP heavy and DSP light architectures for exponential and natural log in the DSP Builder blockset.
- improved FP FFT logic usage for two lower-precision FP formats: FP16 and FP19.
- Improved integration of DSP Builder designs with other IP in Platform Designer.
- DSP Builder does not unroll but keeps together vectors of (optionally) complex signals as a single conduit entity.
- You can also assign a custom role to the conduit. DSP Builder automatically assigns multiple conduits with unique names by prefixing the interface with the DSP Builder model name.
- Improved the default configuration of the FFT blocks to minimize errors when changing the FFT parameters.
- Provided option to reset the internal state of the FIR block during a warm reset.
- Added a library that contains the Simulink blocks that DSP Builder designs support.

- Added support for automatic reset minimization of DSP Builder designs. Reset minimization determines the minimal set of registers in a design that require reset, while retaining the design’s correct functionality. Reducing the number of registers that DSP Builder resets may give improved quality of results i.e. reduced area and increased Fmax.
- Added support for bit fields to the SharedMem block. These fields provide analogous functionality to the existing bit field support in the RegField and RegOut blocks.
- Added beta support for HDL import, which incorporates VHDL or Verilog HDL synthesizable designs into a DSP Builder design. You can then cosimulate the imported design with DSP Builder Simulink components. HDL import includes a minimal user interface, but requires some manual setup. To use this feature, you require a license for the MathWorks HDL Verifier tool.
