Method and system for a programmable device programmer. The disclosure describes various embodiments for programming a target programmable device by a programmer. In one embodiment, the programmer determines availability of updated configuration data for a hardware component of the programmer. The programmer includes the software component coupled to the hardware component. An update mode of the hardware component is enabled in response to availability of the updated configuration data, and programming of the target programmable device is disabled while the hardware component is in the update mode. A programmable device internal to the hardware component is programmed with the updated configuration data while the hardware component is in the update mode, and the update mode is disabled in response to completion of programming of the at least one programmable device. A target programmable device may then be programmed by the programmer having the updated configuration data.
摘要:
A wireless programmable logic device contains a wireless component and a programmable logic component. A remote wireless host can be used to program the programmable logic device. Some product designs require multiple programmable logic devices. When wireless programmable logic devices are used in the design, all of them can receive data and commands from the host. As a result, the wireless host can control the order of configuration and the start time of these logic devices. There is no need to build glue logic for this purpose. Consequently, the efficiency in product design is improved. If there are problems in programming a programmable logic device, the host can log the failed operation in its memory. This information could be used to improve production flow.
