Dynamic platform support in programmable integrated circuits

Abstract:

Providing dynamic platform support for a programmable integrated circuit (IC) can include loading a circuit design for a programmable IC, wherein the circuit design specifies a link region coupled to a first infrastructure region by first connections, and a kernel region coupled to the first infrastructure region by second connections and generating a base platform from the circuit design by removing the first infrastructure region, the kernel region, and the second connections from the circuit design and adding a wrapper that includes the first connections. A new platform can be generated from the base platform where the new platform includes the link region and, within the wrapper, a second infrastructure region coupled to the link region by the first connections.
