Abstract
A system prevents processor faults during the configuring of a programmable device. The system sets the processor into a reset mode, configures the programmable device using first configuration data, and determines whether the configuring using the first configuration data is successful. When the programmable device is not successfully configured, the system configures the programmable device using second configuration data and determines whether the configuring using the second configuration data is successful. The system releases the processor from the reset mode when the programmable device is successfully configured using the first or second configuration data or when the configuration of the programmable device using the second configuration data fails.
