Figure 1. Host Application Debug

The sections below list the different techniques available in this stage.

Vitis IDE Debugger

You can use the Vitis IDE debugger to debug host application source. Details on the Vitis Debugger can be found in Debugging the System Project and AI Engine Components in the Vitis Reference Guide (UG1702).

Printf

You can also use printf() statements in your host code to help debug the host application.

Next Stage: After you determine the cause of the failure and fix the issue, you can recompile the host application, and proceed to stage 1.
