Concurrent debugging of FPGA and CPU
F-Sight realizes total debugging environment for both
software and hardware in one unit, allowing activities
from CPU emulation to practical debugging by monitoring
FPGA internal user logic in wave form, not to mention
FPGA configuration.
|
 |
Cooperative debugging
Allows cooperative debugging of
hardware and CPU software.
Allows to correlate the software and hardware while
checking the corresponding programme execution history.
* Supported in MicroBlaze
model by (optional) trace debug library |
 |
Also provides perfect debugging environment for embedded CPU !
-CPU execution control
go/break/step/come
-Variable reference change
-Memory/Register reference change
-Break functions
CPU break function
Software break function
-CPU trace (execution history logging) function *1
-I/O reference change
Supports Linux ! *2
Support provided by dedicated debug library
specifically for Linux.
*1 Supported in MicroBlaze
model by (optional) trace debug library
*2 Only supported in 2VP-PPC model

Realizes practical debugging environment for FPGA !
-Readback function
Quick inspection
Watch function
Block RAM reference
-Probing function
Adds/Registers and automatically wires signal to monitor in HDL source Window.
-Analyzer function
2VP-PPC model : Monitors wave pattern in 8chs
(MAX. 40chs:With optional accessory)
MicroBlaze model : Monitors wave pattern in 16chs
(MAX. 48chs:With optional accessory)
-High-speed configuration
Readback function
Shows the state of the signal in Inspect view when the
mouse cursor has been moved to point the name of the
signal output with location information on source file.
* Not supported by Spartan-3
Generation FPGA
Probing function
Allows to add/register signal to monitor in wave form on
source file.
The effect to the user circuit will be almost none since
only the wiring will be added without resynthesis.
Allows easy monitoring of the wave pattern. |
|
Simple connection
Allows instant connection with hot plug
USB connector for the host PC and dedicated debug connector for the target. |
 |
Analyzer Extension Probe (Optional)
With the use of optional analyzer
expansion probe, another 32 channels can be added to
analyzer channels. |
 |
Target adapter conversion set (Optional)
Conversion adapter is available for the target system not
provided with MICTOR connector or for connection with the target
system already completed.
F-Sight Target Interface
In the F-Sight target
interface, all the JTAG signals, trace signals and the analyzer signals are put
together to the 38-pin Mictor connector.
