Implement debug core

Syntax

implement_debug_core [‑quiet] [‑verbose] [<cores>...]

Usage

Name Description
[-quiet] Ignore command errors
[-verbose] Suspend message limits during command execution
[<cores>] Debug core

Categories

Debug

Description

Implements the Vivado logic analyzer debug cores in the current project. The tools will be run once for any ILA debug cores specified, and run one more time for the Debug Hub core if all cores are specified. The ILA core (labtools_ila_v3) is the only core type currently supported by the create_debug_core command. The tool automatically adds a Debug Hub core (labtools_xsdbmasterlib_v2) to contain and configure the ILA cores in the project.

The Vivado tool creates Debug Hub core and ILA cores initially as black boxes. These cores must be implemented prior to running through place and route. After the core is created with create_debug_core, and while ports are being added and connected with create_debug_port and connect_debug_port, the content of the debug core is not defined or visible within the design.

Debug core implementation is automatic when you launch an implementation run using the launch_runs command, or during design optimization using opt_design. However, you can also use the implement_debug_core command to implement one or more of the cores in the design without having to implement the whole design.

Arguments

-quiet - (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
Note: Any errors encountered on the command-line, while launching the command, will be returned. Only errors occurring inside the command will be trapped.
-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
Note: Message limits can be defined with the set_msg_config command.

<cores> - (Optional) One or more debug cores to implement. All debug cores will be implemented if no cores are specified.

Examples

The following example implements all debug cores in the current project:
