Abstract:
Integrated circuit devices having fixed and programmable logic portions are made by combining a hardware description language representation of the fixed logic and a hardware description language representation of the programmable logic to create a single hardware description language representation of a device. This allows multiple portions of programmable logic, distributed where needed in whatever size needed, to be interspersed among the fixed logic. Because the behavior of the programmable logic, rather than of the user programming, is being represented, a programmable logic architecture is provided that lacks behaviors, such as combinational loops, that would cause compilation of the hardware description language to generate errors.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for utilizing a bridged peripheral system within a bridged computer system having a host computer and a remote computer. The host computer executes peripheral driver software that initiates at least one communication. The host computer also executes a peripheral emulation that represents a peripheral of the remote client computer, where the at least one communication is processed by the peripheral emulation. In one embodiment, the peripheral is an audio codec.
