Ways to check the content of a BRAM or SDRAM

[Azurath]

Hello!

 

I have an example design where I am writing values into a BRAM.

 

I have confirmed through simulation that the values are stored correctly. However, what I want to do is to confirm that the values are saved running on hardware as well?

 

 

I have been trying to debug using the TCF debugger and trying to check the Memory window on the uB but I am not getting anything sufficient or understandable. 

 

What should I do if I want to, for example, test my memory through the MicroBlaze, shall the D-cache and I-cache be enabled? 

Could you give me any suggestions or examples on how to confirm the content without using simulation?

My initial goal is to start with a BRAM and then go on with an SDRAM as well.

 

 

regards

Hi @Azurath,

I would suggest to use the ILA. Here is the Integrated Logic Analyzer v6.2 LogiCORE IP Product Guide. 

thank you,
