Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method for configuring functional interconnections in a programmable device. The method comprises displaying a graphical user interface, which presents a graphical depiction of the programmable device, selecting a functional user module in the graphical user interface, selecting an interconnect input or output on the user module and displaying a graphical representation of allowable connections for the pin by highlighting those allowable connections in the graphical user interface. The desired interconnection is then selected and selection options for configuring the interconnection can be presented in and selected from a pop-up window or a drop-down list in the graphical user interface.
