ABSTRACT:
Method and system for a programmable device programmer. The disclosure describes various embodiments for programming a target programmable device by a programmer. In one embodiment, the programmer determines availability of updated configuration data for a hardware component of the programmer. The programmer includes the software component coupled to the hardware component. An update mode of the hardware component is enabled in response to availability of the updated configuration data, and programming of the target programmable device is disabled while the hardware component is in the update mode. A programmable device internal to the hardware component is programmed with the updated configuration data while the hardware component is in the update mode, and the update mode is disabled in response to completion of programming of the at least one programmable device. A target programmable device may then be programmed by the programmer having the updated configuration data.
