Bridge circuitry for communications with dynamically reconfigurable circuits

A method of operating a bridge circuit having first and second interfaces that are coupled to respective circuitry, the method comprising:

• with interface circuitry, receiving communications at the first interface;
• with the interface circuitry, transmitting the received communications at the second interface using communications settings;
• and
• with control circuitry, adjusting the communications settings of the second interface without interrupting the communications at the first interface.

Apparatus, comprising:

• circuitry;
• dynamically reconfigurable circuitry that is reconfigurable between at least first and second configurations during normal operation of the circuitry;
• and
• a bridge circuit having a first interface coupled to the circuitry and a second interface coupled to the dynamically reconfigurable circuitry, wherein the bridge circuit interfaces between the circuitry and the first and second configurations of the dynamically reconfigurable circuitry without interrupting the circuitry.
