Hardware-only system designs typically include a processor core, hardened IP, and programmable logic (PL). You can use the following system-level debugging tools to diagnose the system-level issues in your design:
- Xilinx System Debugger (XSDB)
- AXI Streaming Integrated Logic Analyzer (AXIS-ILA)
- AXI Streaming Virtual Input/Output (AXIS-VIO)
- Integrated Bit Error Ratio Tester (IBERT)
The first step in system-level design debugging is to read the hardware status using XSDB tool. Then, use the tools listed in the following table to find the root cause of the issues.
Note: For information on XSDB commands, refer to
the
Software Debugger Reference Guide (UG1725).
