You can access the System Console from Qsys by clicking
System Console on the Tools
menu.
The System Console supports low-level hardware debugging of Qsys
systems. You can use the System Console to debug systems that
include IP cores instantiated in these systems, as well as for
initial bring-up of your printed circuit board, for low-level
testing, and to access the Transceiver Toolkit and External Memory
Interface Toolkit. You access the System Console from the Tools
menu in Qsys. You can use the System Console in command-line mode
or with the GUI.
System Console consists of four panes:
- System
Explorer—Allows you to view a hierarchy of the System
Console virtual file system in your design, which may
include connections, devices, designs, design instances, and scripts. When you write scripts and specify the
path where they are located in the environment settings of your
operating system, you can then run the scripts from the
System Explorer.
Note: For example, to view Tcl scripts in the System Explorer you can place the scripts in $Home directory path /system_console/scripts.
- Tools—Allows you to launch tools that use the
System Console framework.
- Tcl
Console—Allows you to run commands and Tcl scripts
from within the System Console.
-
Messages—Displays messages generated when running
tools within the System Console.
