Debugging a design is a complicated process and often needs to
switch between views/reports. The Vitis Analyzer
supports this functionality and allows detailed inspection of events and their
associated timing. Cross probing allows you to probe data in different views allowing
you to view I/O data from different perspectives, including data on a particular tile or
port, and at what time an event occurred, all within the same window. The
Trace and
Graph views can be shown in
the same window and moving the time marker in the Trace view or selecting object(s) in the Graph view applies to both views
simultaneously.
- Use the New Horizontal
Group and
New Vertical Grouptoolbar buttons (
) to manage
views/reports. - In the following image, the
Trace and
Graph view are
selected to appear in the same window.
- Use the filter button (
) to select tiles, functions, input/output ports,
DMA, and locks to be included or excluded from the trace view to focus on areas
of interest. - Drag the time marker to move the time backwards and forwards to evaluate events at a given time. Events occurring after the selected time are highlighted in the events table of the Trace view at the bottom of the screen.
