Abstract
Various techniques are described to provide an internally triggered reconfiguration of a programmable logic device (PLD). In one example, a PLD includes configuration memory adapted to store first configuration data to configure the PLD for its intended function. The PLD also includes a bus interface adapted to interface with configuration data storage memory. The PLD further includes user logic configured by the first configuration data and adapted to provide a reconfiguration signal to trigger a reconfiguration of the PLD. In addition, the PLD includes a bus interface controller responsive to the reconfiguration signal for loading second configuration data from the configuration data storage memory via the bus interface.
