1.9. Implementing Performance Monitoring

You can set up real-time performance monitoring for your Platform Designer system using throughput metrics such as read and write transfers.

Platform Designer supports performance monitoring for only Avalon-MM interfaces. In your Platform Designer system, you can monitor the performance of no less than three, and no greater than 15 Avalon-MM interface components at one time.

Follow these steps to implement performance monitoring:
  1. Open a system in Platform Designer.
  2. Click View > Instrumentation.
  3. To enable performance monitoring, turn on Add debug instrumentation to the Platform Designer Interconnect option. Enabling this option allows the system to interact with the Bus Analyzer Toolkit, accessible from the Intel® Quartus® Prime Tools menu.
  4. For any interconnect, enable or disable the Add Performance Monitor option.
