Abstract
A method for accessing signals of a programmable logic device having a functional level and a configuration level at run time when the programmable logic device is executing a predefined configuration. An access to at least one signal value that has a number of bits is requested. The individual bits in the configuration are each located in an address unit with one address offset apiece such that one or more bits of a signal value are located in one address unit. A bitwise access to the requested signal values takes place, wherein the accesses to the individual bits are sorted as a function of the address unit containing the applicable bit in such a manner that the accesses to all bits located in an address unit take place in sequence as a function of the address offset, independently of the signal containing the applicable bit.
