Abstract
Systems and methods described herein may relate to providing a dynamically configurable circuitry able to be programed using a microsector granularity. Furthermore, selective partial reconfiguration operations may be performed use write operations to write a new configuration over existing configurations to selectively reprogram a portion of programmable logic. An n-bit data register (e.g., a 1-bit data register) and/or control circuitry receiving data and commands from an access register disposed between portions of programmable logic may enable at least some of the operations described.
Claims20
An integrated circuit comprising:
- a plurality of regions of programmable logic circuitry, wherein each of the plurality of regions of programmable logic circuitry respectively represents less than 1% of the total programmable logic circuitry of the integrated circuit;
- and
- a plurality of controllers to control writing data to or reading data from the plurality of regions of programmable logic circuitry.
A method comprising:
- receiving configuration data;
- and
- programming the configuration data into configuration memory of programmable logic circuitry of an integrated circuit device using one or more 1-bit wide data registers.
A method comprising:
- performing an initial configuration of programmable logic circuitry of an integrated circuit device;
- and
- subsequently performing partial reconfiguration of a region of the programmable logic circuitry using a write-only operation.
