ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and methods for configuring a plurality of programmable logic devices which include the steps of providing a source of configuration data and transferring the configuration data directly from the source to each of the programmable logic devices. In some embodiments, the methods permit the programmable logic devices to configure themselves without the intervention of an intelligent host such as a CPU, a microcontroller, or other types of intelligent logic. In other embodiments, configuration data files are used in conjunction with an intelligent host to configure the programmable logic devices. Configuration is performed at power-up or, alternatively, under user or software control.
