Abstract
A method for generating configuration information using a computer aided design (CAD) tool includes a step to receive an intellectual property block. The method also includes a step to receive a configuration and status register (CSR) data file. The configuration and status register data file includes a user selected portion of runtime features from all of the available runtime features of the intellectual property block. The method may also include a step to receive an additional intellectual property block and an additional configuration and status register data file. Based on the two intellectual property blocks and the configuration and status register data files, a consolidated configuration and status register block may be formed. These intellectual property block(s) and configuration status register block(s) are formed on an integrated circuit device.
