This thesis presents the design and implementation of a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing system based on the Atlys FPGA kit, with the goal of enabling the deployment of a Simulink model onto an FPGA and its use as a real-time simulator for testing control units. Following a theoretical section covering FPGA architecture, HDL code generation using the Simulink HDL Coder, and the basic principles of HIL testing, the thesis describes the design of an auxiliary HDL project that provides the necessary input/output interfaces and ensures compatibility with code generated by the Simulink HDL Coder. The system also includes a Simulink project template guiding the user through the conversion of the model to fixed-point data types and the generation of HDL code, a printed circuit board with analog converters, and a desktop application for monitoring and configuring the HIL simulation. The functionality of the complete system is verified on a DC motor model and a magnetic levitation model by comparing the responses of control units connected to the simulator with those obtained when connected to the real hardware.
