The configuration memory cells are for storing values for initializing the hard macro. The configuration registers are coupled to be loaded with the values stored by the configuration memory cells. Write management busing is coupled to the configuration registers for overwriting at least one of the values loaded into the configuration registers for reconfiguration of the hard macro.
