Abstract
A method for programming a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) via a network, the network being operated according to a predetermined communications protocol, can include: establishing a communication connection between the FPGA and an external master, setting the FPGA into a programming mode, the master providing an FPGA programming image to the FPGA in a sequence of frames so that the frames can be parsed and enabling the FPGA to write only during receiving the payload section of the frames. The FPGA programming image and parsing the sequence of frames can be performed by a permanently programmed or hardwired logic component. A network, FPGA, and a communication system can be configured to utilize embodiments of the method.
