SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREPARING PARTIALLY RECONFIGURABLE CIRCUIT DESIGNS

摘要

A circuit design is created (202) in a computer memory in response to user input to a computer processor. The circuit design has a static portion (102). A virtual socket (312) is instantiated (204) in the circuit design in response to user input, and one or more reconfigurable modules (402, 404, 406) are instantiated (206) in the virtual socket in response to user input. The static portion of the circuit design is coupled (210) to the one or more reconfigurable modules, and configuration data are generated (212) from the circuit design. The configuration data include a configuration bitstream corresponding to the static portion of the circuit design and one or more partial configuration bitstreams corresponding to the one or more reconfigurable modules.
