Introduction to Xilinx Chipscope Pro

Until now we simulated our Verilog/VHDL core using a software tool like ModelSim that emulate our core, now we will test our core inside the FPGA running in real life using the real board and the JTAG interface.

The idea is to attach some special cores into the FPGA (ILA and ICON cores), the ICON core provides the communication path between the JTAG cable and the ILA core. The ILA core are used to capture and hold all the signals from your core.

Inside the FPGA that's what we got...

All the rest is our core (In this case a FFD)

On the video bellow we're going to learn how to include the Chipscope in your project in order to verify the results in real-time on the board.

In the video bellow we have the hole think working in real life at my home
