-Sometimes it is necessary to use the debugger within the Xilinx SDK to help debug problems within the code running on a Microblaze processor in an WARP reference design.  The debugger can set break points and step through code line-by-line.  However, the mapping of C code to machine instructions may not be one-to-one due to some of the compiler optimizations that the reference designs were forced to turn on to save on code space.

 This tutorial goes through the process of setting up the debugger; starting the debugger and running code with the debugger.  You can find additional information on the Xilinx SDK debugger on the Xilinx website.

Depending on your debug configuration options, the code will automatically begin to run or the code will be stopped at the beginning of main() and the "Play" arrow at the top of the screen will start the execution of the code.
