    Abstract: Dynamic port handling for circuit designs can include inserting, within a static isolated module of a circuit design, static drivers configured to drive isolated modules of reconfigurable module (RM) instances for inclusion in an RM of the circuit design. For each RM instance of a plurality of RM instances to be inserted into the RM, one or more additional ports can be inserted in the RM based on a number of isolated modules included in a current RM instance. Further, net(s) corresponding to the additional port(s) can be created. The circuit design, including the current RM instance, the additional port(s), and the net(s), can be placed and routed. Prior to the inserting and the performing place and route for a next RM instance to be inserted into the RM, the current RM instance can be removed from the RM along with the additional port(s) and the net(s).

    Abstract: Hierarchical partial reconfiguration for integrated circuits includes converting, using computer hardware, a first partial reconfiguration module of a circuit design into a first partial reconfiguration container, wherein the circuit design is placed and routed, loading, using the computer hardware, a first netlist into the first partial reconfiguration container, wherein the first netlist includes a first plurality of partial reconfiguration modules that are initially empty, and including, using the computer hardware, a further netlist within each of the first plurality of partial reconfiguration modules. Using the computer hardware, the first partial reconfiguration container is implemented with the first plurality of partial reconfiguration modules being implemented within the first partial reconfiguration container.

    Abstract: Bi-directional dynamic function exchange (DFX) can include receiving a circuit design for a programmable integrated circuit (IC). The circuit design includes a plurality of DFX partitions coupled by a signal path. The circuit design can be placed using a first plurality of DFX modules for the plurality of DFX partitions, in part, by selecting a flip-flop of a connection block as a boundary flip-flop of the signal path for each DFX module of the plurality of DFX modules. The circuit design including the signal path can be routed through the selected flip-flops of the connection blocks using a bi-directional routing resource coupling the plurality of connection blocks. The bi-directional routing resource is used as a partition pin placement constraint (PPLOC) node for DFX.

    Abstract: A method of implementing a partial reconfiguration in an integrated circuit device is described. The method comprises reading a netlist for a design of a circuit comprising a reconfigurable module; defining a first region of the integrated circuit device having the reconfigurable module; defining a second region that encompasses the first region; placing the reconfigurable module of the design in the first region, wherein the reconfigurable module comprises a partition pin of a plurality of available partition pins; selectively removing the partition pin; routing drivers and loads that are in the second region; and generating a partial bitstream for the reconfigurable module.

    Abstract: Implementing a circuit design for partial reconfiguration can include routing, using a processor, a net of the circuit design that connects an endpoint within a reconfigurable module with an endpoint within static circuitry external to the reconfigurable module and forming, using the processor, a set of candidate nodes including nodes used to route the net. A node from the set of candidate nodes is determined as the partition pin for partial reconfiguration.
