From the menu select Xilinx > Start/Stop Emulator.
The Emulation dialog box appears. Select the appropriate Project and
Configuration.
Select whether or not you want to show the waveform. Showing the waveform
initiates a Vivado tools session with the simulation window open where you can
view the waveform of the different signals within your design. Not showing the
waveform results in faster emulation. Leave the Show the
Waveform option checked.
Click Start. This is equivalent to turning a board
on.
If you chose to show the waveform, the Vivado Simulator window opens up. This
allows you to select the signals to be displayed in the waveform. Make sure you
click on the Run All buttom to start the programmable
logic simulation after selecting your signals.
