VHDL Programming

as described earlier. Finally the new programming file is programmed
into the Altera device with the Altera programming software.

Start Debug


Now that the device has been programmed with the new netlist, the device
can be debugged with the Bridges2Silicon debugger. The debugger is
invoked, and the project created by the Bridges2Silicon instrumentor
is loaded into the debugger. This project loads the original source files for
the project into the debugger. The debugger now shows only instrumented
signals and breakpoints.

Enable Breakpoint


To enable a breakpoint, click on the radio button next to it. To put a watch
expression on a signal, click the signal and specify a signal expression value.
