Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a configurable integrated circuit device that engages in a configuration communication cycle;
- and
- a self-configuring integrated circuit device that engages in the configuration communication cycle to provide configuration data that configures the configurable integrated circuit device.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory coupled with the processor;
- a configurable integrated circuit device;
- a channel coupled with the configurable integrated circuit device;
- and
- a self-configuring integrated circuit device that uses the channel to send configuration data that configures the configurable integrated circuit device.
