Quartus® II software provides a portfolio of on-chip debugging solutions. This page provides design examples to help you leverage the features available for use in common debugging scenarios.

SignalTap* II embedded logic analyzer: custom state-based trigger flow examples
The custom state-based trigger flow design examples allow you to precisely specify the arrangement of your trigger conditions, providing a more efficient use of the acquisition space. This page shows some commonly used scenarios for using the state-based trigger flow.

In-system sources and probes example
The In-System Sources and Probes Editor can help you create a virtual front panel during the prototyping phase of your design. You can create relatively simple, high-functioning designs in a short amount of time.

To learn more about the usage of the Transceiver Toolkit examples, refer to the Transceiver link debugging using the system console (PDF) chapter of the Quartus II handbook.

System Console Examples

The system console design examples are provided to explain the concepts featured in the system debugging tools (PDF) chapter of the Quartus II handbook. The first example Tcl script creates a LED light show on your board. The second example shows how to use system console as an interactive debug tool.
