Important:Ensure that the board is switched on before performing the instructions provided in this section.
To collect software run data and generate a performance estimation report:
- After the build completes, the SDSoC Report Viewer tab opens.
- Click theClick Herehyperlink on the viewer to launch the application on the board.
The Run application to get its performance dialog box appears.
- Select a pre-existing connection, or create a new connection to connect to the target board.
- ClickOK.
The debugger resets the system, programs and initializes the FPGA, and runs a software-only version of the application. It then collects performance data and uses it to display the performance estimation report.
