Hierarchical preset and rule based configuration of a system-on-chip

A system, comprising:

• a processor programmed to initiate executable operations comprising:
• receiving a user input selecting a first circuit block of a system-on-chip for enablement;
• determining a first top level preset according to the user input for the first circuit block;
• determining selected intermediate presets from a plurality of hierarchically ordered presets for the first circuit block;
• automatically determining low level presets for the first circuit block according to the selected intermediate presets for the first circuit block;
• and
• configuring the system-on-chip by loading control register values specified by the low level presets into a control register of a processor system of the system-on-chip.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, perform a method comprising:

• receiving a user input selecting a first circuit block of a system-on-chip for enablement;
• determining, using the processor, a first top level preset according to the user input for the first circuit block;
• determining selected intermediate presets from a plurality of hierarchically ordered presets for the first circuit block;
• automatically determining low level presets for the first circuit block according to the selected intermediate presets for the first circuit block;
• and
• configuring the system-on-chip by loading control register values specified by the low level presets into a control register of a processor system of the system-on-chip.
