    摘要: Method and apparatus for error checking information is described. Configuration data includes data bits and parity bits. Notably, parity bits may be relocated for determining a syndrome value. Syndrome bits are determined by computing a partial syndrome value for each word serially transmitted of the configuration data, where the configuration data includes one or more data vectors. Location of each word of the configuration data is identified. It is determined whether a partial syndrome value is an initial partial syndrome value or other partial syndrome value responsive to word location. An initial partial syndrome value is stored, and subsequent partial syndrome values are cumulatively added for each word of a data vector to arrive at a syndrome value for the data vector.

    摘要: An apparatus for error checking is described. The apparatus includes a matrix having a plurality of bit position columns and rows, where the bit position columns are equal in number to data bits of a word length, the word length for a word serial transmission of a data vector, where the bit position columns are one each for each data bit. The bit position rows are equal in number to syndrome bits, and the bit position rows are one each for each syndrome bit. A portion of the bit position columns are allocated to parity bits for a selected word of the data vector, where the portion of the bit position columns for the selected word are one each for each parity bit allocated to the selected word.

    摘要: An FPGA configuration circuit including a mask register that stores mask data during configuration memory read-modify-write operations. The mask data enables a multiplexing circuit to overwrite selected memory cells in a configuration memory array with new data bit values. Data bit values from all other memory cells in the configuration memory array are fed back by the multiplexing circuit. In one embodiment, the new data bit values are transmitted on a bi-directional bus and stored in a shift register. The configuration memory array is arranged in frames that are addressed by a frame address register, and the contents of an addressed frame are written to a shadow register. Under the control of the mask register, the multiplexing circuit modifies the frame data bit values stored in the shadow register using the new data bit values stored in the shift register. The contents of the shadow register are then written into the addressed frame.

    摘要: An FPGA configuration memory is divided into columnar frames each having a unique address. Configuration data is loaded into a configuration register, which transfers configuration data frame by frame in parallel. In a preferred embodiment, an input register, a shadow input register and a multiplexer array permit efficient configuration data transfer using a larger number of input bits than conventional FPGAs. A flexible external interface enables connection with bus sizes varying from a predetermined maximum width down to a selected fraction thereof. Configuration data transfer is made more efficient by using shadow registers to drive such data into memory cells on a frame-by-frame basis with a minimum of delay, and by employing a multiplexer array to exploit a wider configuration data transfer bus. The speed of configuration readback is made substantially equal to the rate of configuration data input by employing configuration register logic that supports bidirectional data transfer. Using the invention, a bit stream designed for an old device can be used for a new device having additional configuration memory cells.

    摘要: Interconnecting logic provides connectivity of an embedded fixed logic circuit, or circuits, with programmable logic fabric of a programmable gate array such that the fixed logic circuit functions as an extension of the programmable logic fabric. The interconnecting logic includes interconnecting tiles and may further include interfacing logic. The interconnecting tiles provide selective connectivity between inputs and/or outputs of the fixed logic circuit and interconnect of the programmable logic fabric. The interfacing logic, when included, provides logic circuitry that conditions data transfers between the fixed logic circuit and the programmable logic fabric. In one operation, the programmable logic fabric is configured prior to the startup/boot sequence of the fixed logic circuit. In another operation, the fixed logic circuit is started up and is employed to configure the programmable logic fabric.
