Hi all,
I'm cuurently working on a xilinx spartan 2e design for debug I'm using the chipscope pro LA. the problem is as follows: I'm using the chipscope pro for looking at the logic lines (bus) that define the "state" of the state machine in order to determine the present state of the machine at a given time. but the chipscope is giving me the binary (or oct, hex etc.) value of the bus. when I'm declaring the state machine in VHDL I'm giving each state a name (the synt' does the enumeration automatically) so I do not know what is the corresponding bus value for each state. I'm pretty sure that the Xilinx synthisizer generates this kind of data but I dont know where to find it and so is their FAE :)
for example: if I declare a simple state machine with the follwoing states:
type state_type is (idle , first , second , last)
I would like to get a reference data such as:
idle = 00 first = 01 second = 10 last = 11
that would be very helpfull when debugging large state machines with chipscope. So if anyone knows where to find it (if possible) I would realy appreciate it.
thanks in advance, Moti.
