Abstract
Embodiments herein describe an interface between PL fabric and a hardened block that includes a programmable pipeline. This pipeline includes at least a sequential element and a bypass path. For time critical nets in a netlist, the programmable IC routes a net through the sequential element. Doing so mitigates or eliminates the uncertainty associated with routing the net from the hardened block through PL fabric. Also, the sequential element can increase the available time for capturing the data. For less time critical nets, the net can route through the bypass path. This means the route from the hardened block to the PL fabric is determined on the fly by a routing algorithm rather than being fixed.
