Methods for control block size reduction through intellectual property (IP) migration in an integrated circuit (IC) device are disclosed. A disclosed method includes receiving configuration data for the IC device and determining whether IP construction data is defined in the configuration data. The IP construction data may contain instruction sets for implementing logical operations of a controller-based IP core in a core region of the IC device. Such data creates flexibility to configure the controller-based IP core in the core logic circuit as a soft IP core, when required. In this scenario, the controller-based IP core can be removed from the controller of the IC device during device fabrication. As a result, the footprint (e.g., area) of the controller of the IC device can be reduced, which subsequently increases cost-savings for the IC fabrication. |
