Rapid partial configuration of reconfigurable devices

摘要

A system and method for enabling rapid partial configuration of reconfigurable devices, wherein configuration definition means define partial configuration requirements, and contain at least a starting address of configuration data for the partial reconfiguration, data size specifying the number of contiguous locations to be reconfigured, and desired configuration data corresponding to the contiguous locations. Configuration loading means (300, 310, 320) provides for loading the configuration data into the reconfigurable device according to the partial configuration requirements.
