I find myself again and again having to memorise bit field index and other things in order to be able to debug FPGA code efficiently. What I would really like to be able to do is to create an XControl with a compatible datatype (Say U64) and have this display and accept input in the form of human-readable information.
The data being transported is simply a U64 and the FPGA code doesn't need to know anything about the XControl itself. Just allow a host visualisation based on an XControl to ease things a bit.
I've already started using LVOOP on FPGA and I think this could be another big improvement in the debugging experience. Having an input XControl (or a set of XControls) for certain LVOOP modules on the FPGA just gets me all excited.
