Abstract
A configurable interface for an integrated circuit is described. The integrated circuit includes a first core, where the first core is an application specific circuit version of a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express ('PCIe') interface device. First configuration memory cells are associated with the first core, and the first configuration memory cells are for configuring the first core. The first configuration memory cells are programmable responsive to a first portion of a configuration bitstream, and the configuration bitstream is capable of including user-logic information for programming programmable logic of the integrated circuit.
