    Abstract: Pre-boot metadata transfer may include loading a first configuration bitstream into a programmable integrated circuit (IC), wherein the first configuration bitstream includes a first circuit design and metadata for a second circuit design. The metadata may be stored within a memory of the programmable IC. A configuration bitstream load condition may be detected and, responsive to the configuration bitstream load condition, a second configuration bitstream may be loaded into the programmable IC. The second configuration bitstream includes a second circuit design.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented design flow can include, within a circuit design for an integrated circuit, determining a portion of the circuit design that is a candidate for implementation as a runtime customizable circuit and determining implementation options for the runtime customizable circuit. The design flow can also include generating, using computer hardware, a description of the circuit design using the runtime customizable circuit to implement the portion of the circuit design and generating, using the computer hardware, program code for an embedded processor coupled to an implementation of the runtime customizable circuit within the integrated circuit. The program code is usable by the embedded processor to parameterize the runtime customizable circuit to create a specific instance of the runtime customizable circuit.

    Abstract: A system can include a finite state machine generator implemented in programmable circuitry of an integrated circuit. The finite state machine generator is parameterizable to implement different finite state machines at runtime of the integrated circuit. The system can include a processor configured to execute program code. The processor is configured to provide first parameterization data to the finite state machine generator at runtime of the integrated circuit. The first parameterization data specifies a first finite state machine and the finite state machine generator implements the first finite state machine in response to receiving the first parameterization data from the processor.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) includes a bridge circuit configured to receive a first request from an external system, a discover circuit coupled to the bridge circuit and configured to process the first request received from the bridge circuit, and a memory map coupled to the discover circuit. The memory map stores a record for each of a plurality of Intellectual Property (IP) blocks implemented within the IC. The discover circuit is configured to generate a list of the IP blocks implemented within the IC from the records of the memory map responsive to the first request. The bridge circuit is configured to send the list to the external system.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit is provided for obtaining interrupt performance metrics. The integrated circuit includes a microprocessor executing an interrupt service routing monitoring framework that includes an interrupt handler and an application programming interface. The interrupt handler executes in response to a trigger condition and obtains timing data that includes at least one sample of a value of a timing logic according to a sampling schedule. The API exposes interrupt configuration functionality for registering the interrupt handler with a supervisory program and for configuring the interrupt handler to obtain the timing data.

    Abstract: An example method of implementing a system design for a programmable system-on-chip (SOC) having a processing system and programmable logic includes receiving a description of performance objectives for the system design. The method further includes accessing a characterization database that relates parameter settings of the processing system to performance under different traffic profiles as generated by an emulation system comprising the processing system and one or more circuit blocks implemented in the programmable logic. The method further includes obtaining a parameter set from the characterization database based on the description of the performance objectives. The method further includes generating a parameter image for setting registers of the processing system based on the parameter set.

    Abstract: Methods and circuits are disclosed for testing a partial circuit design including circuit modules having a set of ports configured to be driven by signals from ports of one or more circuits omitted from the partial circuit. The set of ports are identified by identifying ports that are not connected by a net to another port or input/output (I/O) pin in the circuit design and that form inputs to slave circuits in the circuit modules. A traffic generator circuit is added to the partial design to form a test circuit design. The traffic generator circuit is configured to provide to the set of ports respective input data signals having a pattern consistent with master-to-slave communication. Operation of a test circuit design is modeled. A set of data signals generated by the circuit modules during the modeled operation of the test circuit design is captured and stored.
