Do some operations on a signal/variable in signal tap

Is it possible to do some basic operations with one or more signals/variables together? I imagined something like an operation (division) between two integers. If not, wouldn't this be a cool feat...

Hi,


The feature that mentioned I think you need to do it externally. Signal tap don't have this feature. Signal tap is used to view waveform by setting the trigger condition.


Thanks,

Regards,

I understand that, but I think if we compare the debugging capabilities with embedded hardware, one would see how powerful those are. Obviously, a lot of stuff has to be deployed in hardware, which is perfectly fine for me. This would also help to not change the code, but rather deploy it from the Signal Tap and the remove it from production. I guess, if the trigger condition does support this mechanism to deploy hardware, it shouldn't be that trivial to manipulate signals.
