Experiments in look up, explore signals in FPGA

Hello,  

There's a problem in FPGA design is It's difficult to look up signal in FPGA design.  

If I can see signals in simulink very easily by taking a scope and lock at it. There's problem when I want to explore signals in FPGA design. There's very few outputs, which I can connect to oscilloscope. I have to change output in code and re-compilate all design, which sometime take me 10 minuts.  

What do you do in these case? Is there any tool can help me?

The tool you want is called SignalTap II. Its a logic analyzer that uses the JTAG interface. If your board has JTAG, then you can use SignalTap II.
