Abstract
According to a method, an access request for a configuration module in a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) may be received. The configuration module may be operable to configure functionality of the FPGA based on configuration information stored thereon. It may be determined whether the access request conforms to a specification specifying access control related to the configuration module. In response to determining that the access request conforms to the specification, the access request may be transmitted to the configuration module for access of the configuration information.
