SYSTEM, METHOD AND ARTICLE OF MANUFACTURE FOR CONTROLLING PERIPHERALS AND PROCESSING DATA ON A SYSTEM HAVING NO DEDICATED STORAGE PROGRAM AND NO CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT

摘要

A system, method and article of manufacture are provided for processing data and controlling peripheral hardware. A first Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) of a reconfigurable logic device is initiated. The first FPGA is configured with programming functionality for programming a second FPGA of the logic device in accordance with reconfiguration data. The reconfiguration data for configuring the second FPGA is retrieved. The first FPGA utilizes the reconfiguration data for programming the second FPGA to run an application. The first FPGA also utilizes the reconfiguration data for programming the second FPGA to control peripheral hardware incident to running the application.
