Runtime intellectual property core metadata to rebuild a next-compile-time intellectual property core

Abstract:

Rebuilding a next compile-time Intellectual Property (IP) core can include determining an IP core included in a runtime design for an integrated circuit (IC) by evaluating metadata of the runtime design. The IP core specifies a circuit configured for implementation in programmable circuitry of the IC. Source code for the IP core may be retrieved automatically based on source data read from the metadata. A new instance of the IP core, including the source code, may be generated in a memory. The new instance of the IP core may be included within a new compile time design.
