I'm desperate... EDK project simulation

For me, the best way to debug hardware with a microblaze inside is to instantiate a ChipSocpe icon and ila inside the design, connected to the secondary bscan port of an opb_mdm connected to the microblaze. This way, you may debug hardware or software (not simultaneously) easily.

If your tb entity name is Test_sim and if your EDK system instance is UUT, add this to your testbech :

configuration tb_conf of Test_sim is for testbench_arch for UUT: system use configuration work.system_conf; end for; end for; end tb_conf;

Also, simulate the tb_conf configuration and not just your test bench entity. (when selecting what to simulate). EDK will also create a system.do or a .do to load everything needed IIRC.

In fact, I had already put this configuration statments in the end o my testbench, but I didn't see the software working. My system jus writes the value '1' in a register(slv_reg0) and '2' i another(slv_reg1), but when I simulate the system in ModelSim th registers continue with the value '0'. Shouldn't it change the valu of my registers

I had already tryied to debug using chipscope, but it showed a error. The place and route report showed that I have 1 BSCAN an with chipscope I have to use another. So, I'm trying to use 2 BSCAN and it overmaps the FPGA. What do I have to do in order to us chipscope? I inserted a chipscope_icon and a chipscope_opb_iba. Do have to insert something else?

You must create a new chipscope icon with Disable Boundary Scan Component Instance. hta will give you an Icon with more ports than usual, these ports must be connected to the corresponding ports of the opb_mdm component (use Show ports with default connections when connecting ports)

I don't know how to disable the boundary scan component instance.

tryied to do this, but it was unsuccessfull. Could you help m again

Thank you

Open Chipscoper Core generator. Select ICON, press Next>. Write name of file, select device family and in ICON parameters select Number of Control Ports and Check Disable Boundary Component Instance, press Next>. Slect you preferred settings, and press generate Core. There you are.
