Abstract
A method and system are disclosed. The method and system provide the ability to identify a configuration bit as an essential configuration bit. The identifying that is performed uses a configuration bit definition.
Claims46
A method comprising:
- identifying a configuration bit as an essential configuration bit, wherein said identifying uses a configuration bit definition, wherein said configuration bit definition is a configuration bit description (CBD) equation.
A computer program product encoded in a computer readable media comprising:
- a first set of instructions, executable on a computer system, configured to identify a configuration bit as an essential configuration bit, wherein said first set of instructions uses a configuration bit definition to perform said identification, wherein said configuration bit definition is a configuration bit description (CBD) equation.
An apparatus comprising:
- means for identifying a configuration bit as an essential configuration bit, wherein said means for identifying uses a configuration bit definition, wherein said configuration bit definition is a configuration bit description (CBD) equation;
- and
- means for generating said configuration bitstream, wherein said means for generating comprises said means for identifying.
A design environment comprising:
- a bitstream generation module configured to identify an essential configuration bit using a configuration bit definition, wherein said configuration bit definition is a configuration bit description equation.
