Abstract: A system and method for debugging a program which is intended to execute on a reconfigurable device. A computer system stores a program that specifies a function, and which is convertible into a hardware configuration program (HCP) and deployable onto a programmable hardware element comprised on the device. The HCP is generated based on the program, specifies a configuration for the programmable hardware element that implements the function, and further specifies usage of one or more fixed hardware resources by the programmable hardware element in performing the function. A test configuration is deployable on the programmable hardware element by a deployment program, where, after deployment, the programmable hardware element provides for communication between the fixed hardware resources and the program. The program is executable by a processor in the computer system, where during execution the program communicates with the one or more fixed hardware resources through the programmable hardware element.

Abstract: A system and method for configuring a reconfigurable I/O (RIO) device to perform a function in response to user requirements. A graphical user interface program receives user input specifying a function. A configuration generation program generates a hardware configuration program based on the user input. The hardware configuration program is usable to configure a device to perform the function, where the device includes a programmable hardware element and one or more fixed hardware resources coupled to the programmable hardware element. The hardware configuration program is deployable onto the programmable hardware element and specifies usage of the fixed hardware resources by the programmable hardware element in performing the function. The GUI program is further executable to display icons on a display corresponding to at least a subset of the fixed hardware resources, and to modify an appearance of respective fixed hardware resource icons as the corresponding fixed hardware resources are allocated.

Abstract: A system and method for configuring a device to perform a function, where the device includes a programmable hardware element and one or more fixed hardware resources. A program is stored which represents the function. A hardware configuration program is generated based on the program, specifying a configuration for the programmable hardware element that implements the function, and usage of the fixed hardware resources by the programmable hardware element in performing the function. A deployment program deploys the hardware configuration program onto the programmable hardware element, where, after deployment, the device is operable to perform the function, where the programmable hardware element directly performs a first portion of the function, and the programmable hardware element invokes the fixed hardware resources to perform a second portion of the function. An optional measurement module couples to the device and performs signal conditioning and/or conversion logic on an acquired signal for the device.
