I believe you mean "hard processor" wherever you say "soft processor" above.

Anyway, as mentioned, you can use Signal Tap to tap the bridges between the HPS and the FPGA fabric without requiring any external lab equipment. You could also use tools like Signal Probe or the Logic Analyzer Interface (LAI) to bring signals out to available I/O pins to view on an external scope or logic analyzer.
