Abstract
It is often necessary to debug FPGA designs in hardware, for several reasons:Problems are visible only when design is run in hardware at system speed.It is not feasible to re-create the failure in a simulation environment.It is faster to test the design in hardware than in a simulation or emulation environment.This chapter discusses some of the advantages of debugging FPGA designs in hardware, how debugging complements other methods of verification and validation, and various techniques for getting the most out of debugging FPGA designs in hardware.
