Abstract
A method of configuring a programmable integrated circuit device with a user logic design includes accepting a first user input defining the user logic design, accepting a second user input defining latency characteristics of the user logic design, determining a configuration of the programmable integrated circuit device having the user logic design, and retiming the configuration based on the second user input.
Claims20
A method of configuring a programmable integrated circuit device with a user logic design, said method comprising:
- accepting a first user input defining said user logic design;
- accepting a second user input defining latency characteristics of said user logic design;
- determining a configuration of said programmable integrated circuit device having said user logic design;
- retiming said configuration based on said second user input;
- and
- loading said retimed configuration into memory of a programmable integrated circuit device.
A non-transitory machine readable storage medium encoded with instructions for performing a method of configuring a programmable integrated circuit device with a user logic design, said instructions comprising:
- instructions to accept a first user input defining said user logic design;
- instructions to accept a second user input defining latency characteristics of said user logic design;
- instructions to determine a configuration of said programmable integrated circuit device with said user logic design;
- and
- instructions to retime said configuration based on said second user input.
