Abstract
Bi-directional dynamic function exchange (DFX) can include receiving a circuit design for a programmable integrated circuit (IC). The circuit design includes a plurality of DFX partitions coupled by a signal path. The circuit design can be placed using a first plurality of DFX modules for the plurality of DFX partitions, in part, by selecting a flip-flop of a connection block as a boundary flip-flop of the signal path for each DFX module of the plurality of DFX modules. The circuit design including the signal path can be routed through the selected flip-flops of the connection blocks using a bi-directional routing resource coupling the plurality of connection blocks. The bi-directional routing resource is used as a partition pin placement constraint (PPLOC) node for DFX.
