Abstract: An integrated circuit can include programmable circuitry configured to implement an overlay circuit specified by an overlay. The overlay circuit can include a trace buffer configured to receive a probed signal from circuitry within the overlay circuit. The trace buffer can be configured to generate trace data from the probed signal and store the trace data in a runtime allocated memory. The integrated circuit also can include a processor coupled to the programmable circuitry and configured to control operation of the trace buffer. The processor can be configured to read the trace data from the runtime allocated memory.

Abstract: Various example implementations are directed to circuits and methods for debugging circuit designs. According to an example implementation, waveform data is captured, for a set of signals produced by a circuit design during operation. Data structures are generated for the set of signals and waveform data for the signals is stored in the data structures. Communication channels associated with the set of signals are identified. Waveform data stored in the data structures is analyzed to locate transaction-level events in the set of signal for one or more communication channels. Data indicating locations of the set of transaction-level events is output by the computer system.

Abstract: A user interface is provided for selection of a previously specified scenario from a plurality of previously specified scenarios. Each previously specified scenario includes a previously specified topology of the electronic system, one or more previously specified parameter values applied to the electronic system, a previously specified traffic profile, and respective precompiled values of one or more measurands. In response to user selection of one of the previously specified scenarios, the precompiled values of the measurands are displayed. The user interface further provides for specification of a scenario. In response to user specification of a scenario, traffic emulation circuitry in the programmable IC is configured to execute the scenario. The value of the at least one measurand is computed and displayed.

Abstract: A system includes a host data processing system and a target platform coupled to the host data processing system. The target platform includes an emulation system. The emulation system includes a processor system, an emulation circuit coupled to the processor system through an integrated circuit (IC) interconnect, and a performance monitor coupled to the IC interconnect. The emulation system receives, from the host data processing system, a software emulation model and a data traffic pattern. The emulation system emulates a system architecture by executing the software emulation model within the processor system and implementing the data traffic pattern over the IC interconnect using the emulation circuit. The emulation system provides, to the host data processing system, measurement data collected by the performance monitor during the emulation.

Abstract: Visualizing transactions in a transaction-based system includes displaying, on a display device, an x-y coordinate system including an x-axis and a y-axis, wherein the x-axis is demarcated in units of time and the y-axis is demarcated according to a transaction characteristic and formatting, using a processor, each of a plurality of transactions of a transaction system as a line having a start end representing a start of the transaction and a terminating end representing an end of the transaction. For each line representing a transaction, the start end of the line is located at a first x-coordinate corresponding to a start time of the transaction and a first y-coordinate of zero. For each line, the terminating end of the line is located at a second x-coordinate corresponding to an end time of the transaction and a second non-zero y-coordinate that is the same for each line. Each line is displayed on the display device using the processor in combination with the x-y coordinate system.

Abstract: A computer-implemented design flow can include, within a circuit design for an integrated circuit, determining a portion of the circuit design that is a candidate for implementation as a runtime customizable circuit and determining implementation options for the runtime customizable circuit. The design flow can also include generating, using computer hardware, a description of the circuit design using the runtime customizable circuit to implement the portion of the circuit design and generating, using the computer hardware, program code for an embedded processor coupled to an implementation of the runtime customizable circuit within the integrated circuit. The program code is usable by the embedded processor to parameterize the runtime customizable circuit to create a specific instance of the runtime customizable circuit.
