Abstract
Systems and methods for asset management for secure programmable logic devices (PLDs) are disclosed. An example system includes a secure PLD including programmable logic blocks (PLBs) arranged in PLD fabric of the secure PLD, and a configuration engine configured to program the PLD fabric according to a configuration image stored in non-volatile memory (NVM) of the secure PLD and/or coupled through a configuration input/output (I/O) of the secure PLD. The secure PLD is configured to receive a secure PLD asset access request from the PLD fabric or an external system coupled to the secure PLD through the configuration I/O, and to perform a secure PLD asset update process corresponding to the secure PLD asset access request, where the performing the asset update process is based on a lock status associated with a secure PLD asset corresponding to the secure PLD asset access request.
