ABSTRACT:
Pre-configuration of a programmable device permits implementation and operation of the device using a first, dedicated operation usable upon power up of the programmable device without the need for programming the device using external configuration data. Configuration data can be provided in any suitable manner to re-configure the device to perform a second, programmable operation. The pre-configured design preferably uses programmable resources and leaves dedicated resources undisturbed during both first and second operations.
