Abstract
Devices and methods for initializing one or more registers of a programmable integrated circuit (IC) to store an initial condition value are provided. A first bitstream that programs the region of the IC to supply the initial condition value to the one or more registers is first programmed on the IC. Then, once the registers are initialized with the initial condition value, a second bitstream is subsequently programmed to the region of the IC to supply values associated with a function of the design to the one or more registers.
