Data processing engine arrangement in a device

An integrated circuit device, comprising:

• a data processing engine (DPE) array including a plurality of DPEs organized in a grid;
• a System-on-Chip (SoC) interface block coupled to the DPE array, wherein the SoC interface block includes a plurality of interface tiles;
• a subsystem coupled to the plurality of interface tiles of the SoC interface block, wherein the subsystem communicates with the DPE array through the plurality of interface tiles of the SoC interface block;
• and
• a security control circuit disposed in a selected interface tile of the plurality of interface tiles of the SoC interface block, wherein the security control circuit configures security settings within the plurality of interface tiles to regulate transactions exchanged between the DPE array and the subsystem.

A method, comprising:

• loading configuration data into an integrated circuit device comprising a data processing engine (DPE) array having a plurality of DPEs organized in a grid and a System-on-Chip (SoC) interface block coupled to the DPE array;
• wherein the SoC interface block includes a plurality of interface tiles and the configuration data includes security setting data;
• receiving, by a security control circuit disposed in a selected interface tile of the plurality of interface tiles of the SoC interface block, the security setting data;
• and
• configuring, by the security control circuit, the plurality of interface tiles based on the security setting data to regulate transactions exchanged between the DPE array and a subsystem of the integrated circuit device.
