please guide me about debug mode?

[Mirzaaur]

Dear all,

I got a design specification to design my module. there are two different kind of area count (Xilinx FPGA based)
Debugg mode

Number of Slices:
1) 1824
Number of Slice Flip Flop:
2)1422
Release mod
Number of Slices:
1) 1169
Number of Slice Flip Flop:
2)786

my confusion is , what is difference between debug mode and release mode?
or what is debug mode??

any hint, thanks,

mirza

Debug/release mode? Which software tools are you using?

Hi,
While compiling, if you use the debug mode the compiler will add to the resulting file additional information that can help you when debugging. When U use Release option there is nothing. That exeplain the difference in the number of FF slices and slices

Number of Slices:
1) 1824
Number of Slice Flip Flop:
2)1422
Release mod
Number of Slices:
1) 1169
Number of Slice Flip Flop:
2)786
