An application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) is provided. The ASIC includes a group of non-configurable circuits customized for performing operations for a particular use. The ASIC also includes a set of reconfigurable circuits for configurably performing a set of operations based on configuration data. The ASIC also includes a configuration and monitoring network that receives a set of signals from the non-configurable circuits of the ASIC. The configuration and monitoring network also receives incremental sets of configuration data while the ASIC is performing operations of the user design. Each incremental set of data is used for reconfiguring the configuration and monitoring network (i) to monitor one or more signals in the set of signals and (ii) to take a set of actions when values of the monitored signals satisfy a condition.
