when used as described in the product documentation. Xilinx cannot guarantee timing,

functionality, or support of product if implemented in devices that are not defined in the

Debug Tools

The main tool available to address MicroBlaze MCS design issues is the ChipScope™ Pro

tool.

ChipScope Pro Tool

The ChipScope Pro debugging tool inserts logic analyzer, bus analyzer, and virtual I/O cores

directly into your design. The ChipScope Pro debugging tool allows you to set trigger

conditions to capture application and integrated block port signals in hardware. Captured

signals can then be analyzed through the ChipScope Pro logic analyzer tool. For detailed

information for using the ChipScope Pro debugging tool, see

cspro.htm.

Reference Boards

All Xilinx development boards support MicroBlaze MCS. These boards can be used to

prototype designs and establish that the core can communicate with the system.

This section provides help in diagnosing and correcting issues that can occur with the

MicroBlaze™ MCS specific tool flow in the ISE® Design Suite. If an error not listed here is

encountered, see the corresponding tool documentation. For each listed error message, the

probable cause of the error, and the suggested corrective action is provided.
