ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for sharing a logic block between multiple peripheral/input/output I/O devices. A method and apparatus for generating a first interrupt in response to a request from one of the devices. A second interrupt is also generated. The second interrupt is recognized before the first interrupt, such that the second interrupt is handled first and causes the logic block to be configured for the requested device. Then the first interrupt is then handled in which the request to the desired device is serviced using the reconfigured hardware.
