Abstract
A device includes a reconfigurable circuit and reconfiguration logic. The reconfiguration logic is to: receive, via a policy interface, a user policy and an image policy; receive a first reconfiguration image via a first configuration interface of a plurality of configuration interfaces; validate the first configuration interface based on the user policy; validate the first reconfiguration image based on the image policy; and in response to a determination that the first configuration interface and the first reconfiguration image are both valid, reconfigure the reconfigurable circuit using the first reconfiguration image.
Claims22
A reconfigurable device comprising:
- a reconfigurable circuit;
- and
- reconfiguration logic to:
- receive, via a policy interface, an image policy;
- receive a first reconfiguration image via a first configuration interface of a plurality of configuration interfaces;
- validate the first reconfiguration image based on the image policy;
- and
- in response to a determination that the first reconfiguration image is valid, reconfigure the reconfigurable circuit using the first reconfiguration image.
A method comprising:
- receiving, via a policy interface, an image policy associated with a reconfigurable circuit;
- receiving a reconfiguration image via a first configuration interface of a plurality of configuration interfaces;
- validating, by an image validator, the reconfiguration image using the image policy;
- and
- reconfiguring, by a circuit controller, the reconfigurable circuit using the validated reconfiguration image.
A system comprising:
- a reconfigurable circuit;
- a policy interface to receive an image policy;
- a plurality of configuration interfaces, including a first configuration interface to receive a reconfiguration image;
- an image validator to validate the reconfiguration image based on the image policy;
- and
- a circuit controller to reconfigure the reconfigurable circuit using the validated reconfiguration image.
