Hi, 

 

I'm new to using Quartus and I'm having some trouble debugging a memory controller. I was wondering if there are any tools in it similar to setting breakpoints or being able to step through code like in Eclipse? 

Thank you in advance.

You can only add breakpoints and step through HDL code in a simulator such as Modelsim, but you can't do it on real hardware. 

To debug HDL you can use a signal analyser such as SignalTap.
