摘要: A programmable logic device (PLD) in a microprocessor system is programmed with minimal load on system resources. A microprocessor reads programming data from a first memory using a parallel bussed interface and writes the programming data to a programming hardware assist engine using the parallel bussed interface. The programming hardware assist engine directs a portion of the programming data to a specified serial interface signal, and outputs a serial bit stream from the programming hardware assist engine to a serial programming interface of the PLD using the specified serial interface signal.
