A method of generating a configuration for a configurable spread spectrum communication device is disclosed herein. The method, implemented on a computing device having a processor and a computer readable memory, starts with a first step of receiving an input identifying a desired function, and a desired operation within the desired function, to be implemented by a configurable communication device. In a subsequent step, a signal flow path for the desired operation is generated by the computing device. Next, the desired operation is mapped onto a computing element within the configurable communication device; the computing element having localized control and being function-specific. The aforementioned steps are repeated to satisfy multiple operations required to enable the desired function. Next, a configurable interconnect of the configurable electronic device is configured to enable the mapping operation and signal flow path across a computing element for each of the multiple operations which together enable the desired function.
