The Challenge

You rely on the insight a

logic analyzer provides to

understand the behavior of

your FPGA in the context of

the surrounding system. A

typical approach is to take

advantage of the programmability

of the FPGA to route internal

nodes to a small number of

physical pins that a logic

analyzer can measure. While

this is a very useful approach,

it has significant limitations.

• Since pins on the FPGA

are typically an expensive

resource, there are a relatively

small number available for

debug. This limits internal

visibility (i.e. one pin is

required for each internal

signal to be probed).

• When different internal

signals need to be accessed

you must change your design

to route these signals to pins.

This can be time consuming

and can affect the timing of

the FPGA design.

• Finally, the process required

to map the signal names from

the FPGA design to the logic

analyzer setup is manual and

tedious. When new signals

are routed out, the need to

manually update these signal

names on the logic analyzer

takes additional time and is

a potential source of

confusing errors.

A Better Way

Collaborative development

between Agilent and Xilinx

have produced a faster and more

effective way to use your logic

analyzer to debug FPGAs and the

surrounding system. The Agilent

FPGA dynamic probe, used in

conjunction with an Agilent logic

analyzer, provides the most

effective solution for simple

through complex debugging.
