1.9 Conclusion
(Ask a Question)This application note demonstrated the capabilities of SmartDebug to observe and analyze many embedded device features. Live probes give real-time access to device test points, and internal logic states can be accessed using active probes. The SmartDebug TRANSCEIVER utility assists FPGA and board designers in validating signal integrity of high-speed serial links in a system and improves board bring-up time. This can be done in real-time without any design modifications. The PMA analog settings can be tuned to optimize link performance and to match the design to the system.
