ChipScope Pro Cores Description
Using Multiple Trigger Ports
The ability to monitor different kinds of signals and buses in the design requires the use of
multiple trigger ports. For example, if you are instrumenting an internal system bus in
your design that is made up of control, address, and data signals, then you could assign a
separate trigger port to monitor each signal group (as shown in
).
If you connected all these different signals and buses to a single trigger port, you would
not be able to monitor for individual bit transitions on the CE, WE, and OE signals while
looking for the Address bus to be in a specified range. The flexibility of being able to
choose from different types of match units allows you to customize the ILA cores to your
triggering needs while keeping resource usage to a minimum.
