Abstract
An integrated circuit for configuring memory block portions is provided. The integrated circuit may include a memory block that is partitioned into first and second memory block portions. The first memory block portion has a first memory type and the second memory block portion has a second memory type that is different than the first memory type. The integrated circuit further includes a control circuit configured to receive configuration data. The configuration data may include memory partition information for repartitioning the first and second memory block portions into first and second repartitioned memory block portions when a portion of the first memory block portion is unused. The memory partition information may also include a memory partitioning constraint, which includes a start point address for the second repartitioned memory block portion and a number of at least one memory segments to be partitioned in the second repartitioned memory block portion.
