6 Troubleshooting

The drivers for Xillybus / XillyUSB were designed to produce meaningful log messages in the system’s event log. It is therefore recommended to search for messages that are relevant when something appears to be wrong. This is done by applying a filter on the event log, as described in section 2.3.

It’s also advisable to occasionally look at the event log even when everything appears to work fine.

A list of messages from the PCIe driver and their explanation can be found at:

It may however be easier to find a specific message by using Google on the message’s text.
