Debug Software Application

...

1. Create SDK Project:
   1. See Create SDK Project from Vivado
2. Create Hello_World:
   1. See Create Software Application with SDK Template
   2. 
   3. (optional) If necessary, modify "Hello World"-BSP stdin/sdtout peripheral, drivers or libraries settings for the Hello World Application
      1. See Modify BSP-Settings
3. Program FPGA:
   1. Click:Xilinx Tools→Program FPGA

   2. Select "hello_world.elf" as ELF File for Processor Block RAM
       

      
      

   3. Click: Program

      Note
      This step configure the Bitfile with the specified ELF-files and program the FPGA

4. (Optional) include ELF-file in Vivado Project:
   1. Right Click on the Block Diagram  on Vivado Project Manager source window
   2. Select "Associated ELF-File"
      
   3. Generate Bitfile
   4. Program FPGA with Vivado HW-Manager

Convert Application to SREC
