ChipScope core inserter has 21 Base Types in my MGT design !
Hello,
I am working on MGT Virtex-4 with a design in it. The design is pretty huge with hundreds of internal signals. Now I am trying to debug the design using ChipScope.
I created *.cdc file and when I get into core inserter to capture the parameters of my design, the 'NetName' and the 'Source Instance' have quite different name (I guess while Synthesis the name gets changed) but I am worried about the "Base Types" to choose since it has 21 different base types as below;
"GT11, LUT1, LUT2, LUT3, LUT4, MUXCY, INV, LUT4_L, LUT3_D, LUT4_D, FDE, FDCE, FD, FDC, FDP, MUXF5, RAMB16, XORCY, SRL16E, LUT2_D, MUXF6."
The design has many state machines, registers etc. My question is, which Base Type is important and which one can be ignored ? I am asking this because for some signals which I select, ChipScope fails to show OUTPUT. Since my main target is debugging the design, it would be great to know about ChipScope.
And also, has anyone used FPGAXpose from Sandbyte ? (It is also a debugging tool used along with Xilinx ISE and ChipScope Pro).

Thank you.
