Techniques are provided to permit a programmable logic device (PLD) to comply with a communication standard before the PLD is fully configured. In one example, a method includes programming a first portion of a programmable logic device (PLD) with first configuration data. After the first portion is programmed, the first portion is operated in accordance with a communication standard to exchange data with a host system while a second portion of the PLD is programmed with second configuration data.

Configuration sequence for programmable logic device

Various techniques are provided to configure embedded hardware resources of a programmable logic device (PLD). In one example, a method includes receiving configuration information for a plurality of hardware modules of an embedded hardware block of a PLD. The configuration information is received from a user of a computer system external to the PLD. The method also includes generating a plurality of models of the hardware block. The method also includes merging the generated models into a combined model of the hardware block. The combined model includes the configuration information received for the hardware modules of the hardware block. Related systems and additional techniques are also provided.

Configuration of selected modules of a hardware block within a programmable logic device

An integrated circuit includes, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a data port, a system bus for transferring information to and from the data port, and a plurality of SERDES channels. A plurality of registers associated with the plurality of SERDES channels may be written to via the system bus on an individual, group, or global basis to provide communication settings for the SERDES channels.
