- In your C: drive, create a folder called /Vivado_Debug.
- Download the Reference Design Files from the
AMD website.CAUTION:The tutorial and design files can be updated or modified between software releases. You can download the latest version of the material from the AMD website.
- Unzip the tutorial source file to the /Vivado_Debug folder. There are six labs that use different methodologies for debugging your design. Select the appropriate lab and follow the steps to complete them.
- Lab 1
- This lab walks you through the steps of marking nets for debugging in HDL
and the post-synthesis netlist (netlist insertion method). The following are
the required files:
- debounce.vhd
- fsm.vhd
- sinegen.vhd
- sinegen_demo.vhd
- sine_high/sine_high.xci
- sine_low/sine_low.xci
- sine_mid/sine_mid.xci
- sinegen_demo_kc705.xdc
- Lab 2
- This lab reviews the details of marking nets for debugging in the source
HDL (HDL instantiation method) and instantiating an ILA core in the HDL. The
following are the required files:
- debounce.vhd
- fsm.vhd
- sinegen.vhd
- sinegen_demo_inst.vhd
- ila_0/ila_0.xci
- sine_high/sine_high.xci
- sine_low/sine_low.xci
- sine_mid/sine_mid.xci
- sinegen_demo_kc705.xdc
- Lab 3
- You can test your design even if the hardware is not physically accessible
using a VIO core. This lab walks you through the steps of instantiating and
customizing a VIO core that you hook to the I/Os of the design. The
following are the required files:
- debounce.vhd
- fsm.vhd
- sinegen.vhd
- sinegen_demo_inst_vio.vhd
- sine_high/sine_high.xci
- sine_low/sine_low.xci
- sine_mid/sine_mid.xci
- ila_0/ila_0.xci
- sinegen_demo_kc705.xdc
- Lab 4
- Nets can also be marked for debugging in a third-party synthesis tool using
directives for the synthesis tool. This lab walks you through the steps of
marking nets for debugging in the Synplify tool and using Vivado to perform the rest of the debugging.
The following are the required files:
- debounce.vhd
- fsm.vhd
- sign_high.dcp
- sign_low.dcp
- sine_mid.dcp
- sine_high.xci
- sine_low.xci
- sine_mid.xci
- sinegen.edn
- sinegen_synplify.vhd
- synplify_1.sdc
- synplify_1.fdc
- sinegen_demo_kc705.xdc
- Lab 5
- Take designs created from Lab 1, Lab 2, Lab 3, and Lab 4 and load them onto the KC705 board.
- Lab 6
- Enhance post-implementation debugging by using the ECO flow to replace debug probes.
- Lab 7
- Use the Incremental Compile flow to enable faster debugging flows. Using the results from a previous implementation run, this flow allows you to make debug modifications and rerun implementation.
- Lab 8
- Debug high-speed serial I/O links using the Vivado Serial I/O Analyzer. This lab uses the Vivado IP example design.
- Lab 9
- Use Vivado ILA core to debug JTAG-to-AXI transactions. This lab uses the Vivado IP example design.
- Lab 10
- Use the IBERT UltraScale+ PS-GTR transceiver to evaluate and monitor PS-GTR transceivers in AMD Zynq™ UltraScale+™ MPSoC devices. This lab is purely software-based, setting up and testing the processing system (PS) side of the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC with no programmable logic (PL).
