The present invention relates to a method for downloading a binary configuration file in a programmable circuit implemented in a device. The device comprises at least one central processing unit, a plurality of connectors, and a programmable circuit enabling all or a part of the signals received by said connectors to be processed and transmitted to at least one other circuit of the device. The device analyzes the signals present on the connectors in order to define what other devices are connected and whether the connections are operational. Then, a configuration file is selected from among a set of configuration files according to the operational connections and is downloaded from a memory of the device into the programmable circuit. The invention also relates to a device having a component programmed according to the method previously described.
Downloading method of a configuration file to a programmable circuit implemented in a device, said device comprising a plurality of connectors intended for the transmission of communication signals with at least one other device, and a programmable circuit enabling said communication signals received from said connectors to be processed and transmission of them to at least one other circuit of the device, wherein it comprises the steps of:
Processing device comprising of at least one central processing unit, a plurality of connectors intended to transmit communication signals with at least one other device, and a programmable circuit enabling processing of at least one part of the communication signals received by said connectors and of transmitting them to at least one other circuit of the device;
