Abstract
Various example implementations are directed to circuits and methods for partitioning a memory for a circuit design in a programmable IC. A user interface is provided for a user to define subsystems, master circuits, memory segments, and permissions for accessing the memory segments by the master circuits. For each defined memory segment, a respective access control entry is generated that includes data for determining master circuits that are permitted access to the memory segment by the user-defined permissions. A first portion of configuration data is generated that is configured to cause a memory management circuit in the programmable IC to enforce access to address ranges, corresponding to the respective memory segments, in a memory of the programmable IC according to the respective access control entries. A second portion of configuration data is generated that is configured to cause programmable resources of the programmable IC to implement the circuit design.
