Abstract
A programmable semiconductor system includes a programmable integrated circuit ('PIC') and storage capable of facilitating a multi-boot with backup default configuration (“MBC”) process. The PIC, in one embodiment, includes configurable logic blocks (“LBs”), routing connections, and a configuration memory for performing logic functions. The storage includes a first and a second memory. While the first memory stores a user configuration data representing user-defined logic functions, the second memory stores a backup default page (“BDP”) containing default configuration data (“DCD”) for programming or booting PIC to its default setting when the user configuration data fails to boot or program PIC. In one aspect, the user configuration data contains the address of the second memory containing DCD.
