A single-board computer incorporating programmable logic devices and its use in the automatic implementation and testing of logic circuits.

摘要

There is provided a programmable one-board computer (30) comprising a system board (32) including wiring , one or more microprocessor chips (34) disposed at the centre of the system board, and a plurality of programmable logic devices (PLD) (36) disposed to surround the microprocessor chip(s). Each said PLD may include a memory (38) for defining an internal circuit thereof or may substitute partly for an external memory device. The PLDs may comprise large scale PLDs (36A) as inner PLDs thereof and small scale PLDs (36B) as outer PLDs. The programmable one-board computer (30) can realize an actual circuit altered from a newly designed logic circuit (20) and laid out on the same. The actual circuit laid on the same can be used for verification.
