Data Trace on AXI Switch Slave Port

(Ask a Question)

Data trace on a slave port involves the following steps:

  1. 1.Programming the design on the PolarFire SoC device.
  2. 2.Running the firmware to create traffic on S1 slave port using SoftConsole.
  3. 3.Discovering Trace modules using SoftConsole.
  4. 4.Configuring the AXI Monitor 0 bus monitor using SoftConsole.
  5. 5.Running and monitoring the AXI(64) trace data using SoftConsole.
Note: The monitored trace data must match with the data sent/received on S1 slave.

The following figure shows the required trace modules and the flow involved in AXI Switch data trace.

Note: The configuration of AXI Monitor 0 involves setting GPIO_0 to enable trace on the S1 port connected to FIC0.
