I am using an Arty Z7 and storing certain data in DDR memory and would like to view the contents of memory during the execution of my program. I would like to do this so I can ensure what I am storing in memory is what I expect. Is this possible to do this in the Vitis debugger and if so, how?

Of course this is possible to do in Vitis! I'm using Vitis 2020.2 but the steps should be largely the same in any version.
- Start a debug session
- Pause execution
- Click "Window > Memory Browser"
- A memory browser tab opens
- You can drag this tab to a different area if you like
- Enter an address or expression in the box
- You can scroll the memory view to quickly access nearby memory addresses instead of typing them in.
