In order to debug the host-side program in any modes(sw_emu, hw_emu, or system), CLion or any other C++ IDE could be used.
Remember to run scripts/DbgScriptBinDir.sh or scripts/DbgScriptOclTestDir before starting debugging session for the main executable or the OclTests' main executable. Note that class XilinxImplementation is configured to select sw_emu in the case that variable XCL_EMULATION_MODE was not set beforehand.
It is possible to launch Vivado HLS GUI and optimize the kernel of choice. This could be done after running a hw_emu build:
cd _x/task_<KERNEL>_solution/task_<KERNEL>
vivado_hls -p task_<KERNEL>
