Is it possible to use ChipScope Pro to stimulate signals? I'm trying to figure out if i can use ChipScope Pro to drive some signals in my FPGA.
 
Vivek,

Not detailed in the product literature for Chipscope Pro (at least I
couldn't find it) is the "virtual front panel" which allows a GUI
interface for pushbuttons, switches, leds, etc. in order to not only
'listen to', but to 'talk to' the logic in your FPGA design.

Since this is a new feature since 6.1i, it has already seen
improvements, and even more improvements are in the works for the next
release.

We use it internally more and more, as it makes prototyping far simpler.

Contact your FAE, or the hotline for support,

Austin

Yes, you can. They have an asynchronous(or synchronous) virtual I/O module.
You can also build a simple GUI with LEDs, push butttons, numeric entries,
etc. I've used it recently to control all of the RF attenuators and switches
on a radio product. In the past I've had to run the processor under emulator
at early stages to have this kind of control. It's great not having to
monkey with the embedded software.
 
Yes, if you have ChipScope 6.2 is possible, search VIO into ChipScope docs.
