ABSTRACT:
A reconfigurable processor system n an intergrated circuit includes a processor core that operates on a set of instructions to carry out predefined processes. A plurality of input/output pins are provided for interfacing with external signals. A reconfigurable interface interfaces between the processor core and the input/output pins through select ones of a plurality of functional blocks. The reconfigurable interface is operable to define how each of the plurality of input/output pins interfaces with the processor core an the functionality associated therewith. The functional blocks provide the interface of the processor core with the input/output pins.
