Description

Programing FPGA (Xilinx Tools -> Program FPGA) while the board is running causes the suspension of the SoC cores.

What is the work-around for this issue?

Solution

To work around this issue follow the steps below:

1. After the FPGA bitstream is downloaded successfully, Start "Debug Perspective" in SDK.


2. Once in "Debug perspective", open "Debug Configurations".


3. Create a new configuration under Xilinx_TCF.


4. Click on Debug.


5. One of the Cores will now be in a suspended state.


6. Click Resume (F8), and the core will be in a running state again.
