Configurable logic platform with reconfigurable processing circuitry

A configurable logic platform, the configurable logic platform comprising:

• a physical interconnect for connecting the configurable logic platform to a processor;
• a reconfigurable logic region of an FPGA comprising logic blocks that are configured based on configuration data;
• a configuration port for applying the configuration data to the reconfigurable logic region so that the reconfigurable logic region is configured based on configuration data;
• a reconfiguration logic function accessible via transactions of the physical interconnect, the reconfiguration logic function in communication with the configuration port, the reconfiguration logic function providing only restricted access to the configuration port from the physical interconnect;
• and
• an interface function accessible via transactions of the physical interconnect, the interface function providing an interface to the reconfigurable logic region which allows information to be transmitted over the physical interconnect and prevents the reconfigurable logic region from directly accessing the physical interconnect, wherein the reconfiguration logic function is implemented in the reconfigurable logic region.
