Product Specification
Introduction
The ChipScope™ AXI Monitor core is designed to
monitor and debug AXI interfaces. The core allows the
probing of any signals going from a peripheral to the
AXI interconnect. For example, the user can instantiate
a monitor on a MicroBlaze™ processor instruction or
data interface to observe all memory transactions going
in and out of the processor.
Each monitor core works independently which allows
the changing of trigger outputs to enable taking
system-level measurements. By using the auxiliary
trigger input and trigger output ports of a monitor core,
multi-level triggering situations can be created to
simplify complex system level measurements. For
example, if a system consists of a master device
operating at 100 MHz and a slave device operating at 50
MHz, the transfer of data going from one time domain
to the next can be analyzed with the multi-tiered
triggering functionality of monitor cores.
Moreover, with this system level measurement, not
only can complex multi-time domain system level
issues be debugged, but latency restrictions in a system
can be analyzed as well.
