12.5.3. Launching the EMIF Debug Toolkit
Before launching the EMIF Debug Toolkit, ensure that you have configured your device with a programming file that has the EMIF Debug Toolkit enabled.
To launch the debug toolkit, follow these steps:
- In the Quartus® Prime software, open the System Console by clicking Tools > System Debugging Tools > System Console.
- In the System Console, load the SRAM Object File (.sof) with which you have programmed the board. (Refer to the Prerequisites for Using the EMIF Debug Toolkit topic.)
- Select the correct instance that you want to debug.
- Select Agilex 7 EMIF Calibration Debug Toolkit from the Details section. Click Open Toolkit to open the main view of the toolkit.
- Click Establish Connection to initialize the toolkit.
- Click Activate Channel to allow the toolkit to read the parameters and status for the selected interface, and to perform analysis tasks.
- Successful activation of the Debug Toolkit is indicated by a message in the Messages tab.
