The sections below list the different techniques available in this stage.

Vitis IDE Debugger

You can use the Vitis IDE debugger to debug host application source. Details on the Vitis Debugger can be found in Debugging the System Project and AE Engine Components in Vitis Unified Software Platform Documentation: Application Acceleration Development (UG1393).
