1.3.5. Planning for On-Chip Debugging

On-chip debugging is an optional step in the design flow, and different debugging tools work better for different systems and different designers. Evaluate on-chip debugging options early in your design process to ensure that your system board, Quartus® Prime project, and design are able to support the appropriate options. Planning can reduce time spent debugging, and eliminates design changes later to accommodate your preferred debugging methodologies. Adding debug pins might not be enough, because of internal signal accessibility and I/O pin accessibility on the device. First, select your preferred debugging tool(s).
