Abstract
Techniques and mechanisms allow for implementing multiple configuration profiles for dynamic reconfiguration of an Intellectual Property (IP) core. A minimum set of data may be generated, as well as detecting errors between the configuration profiles.
Claims17
A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions executable by a processor to:
- receive a first configuration profile, the first configuration profile providing a first configuration of a set of configuration elements of an Intellectual Property (IP) core to implement a first functionality of the IP core;
- receive a second configuration profile, the second configuration profile providing a second configuration of the set of configuration elements of the IP core to implement a second functionality of the IP core;
- determine a subset of the set of configuration elements that are in opposite states between the first configuration and the second configuration of the IP core;
- generate a first configuration data associated with the first configuration profile, the first configuration data indicating settings for the subset of the set of configuration elements to implement the first functionality;
- and
- generate a second configuration data associated with the second configuration profile, the second configuration data indicating settings for the subset of the set of configuration elements to implement the second functionality.
