ABSTRACT:
A reconfigurable programmable logic system including a programmable logic device and an associated processor is configured using a configuration file including (a) instructions for configuring the programmable logic device as one or more peripherals to be used by the processor, and (b) a list of the peripherals to be configured in the programmable logic. The processor uses the peripheral data from the configuration file to load the appropriate drivers, create all necessary instances of the drivers and optionally to pass parameters for any necessary initial command after each driver is loaded. Optionally, each time the system is configured, any previously loaded drivers are first unloaded.
