The design can be functionally debugged during the simulation verification process. Xilinx provides a full design simulation feature in the Vivado® IDE. The Vivado design simulator can be used to perform RTL simulation of your design. The benefits of debugging your design in an RTL-level simulation environment include full visibility of the entire design and ability to quickly iterate through the design/debug cycle. The limitations of debugging your design using RTL-level simulation includes the difficulty of simulating larger designs in a reasonable amount of time in addition to the difficulty of accurately simulating the actual system environment. For more information about using the Vivado simulator, refer to the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Logic Simulation (UG900).
