Abstract
A method of utilizing compression in programming programmable logic devices is disclosed. The present invention compresses the configuration file to be used in programming a programmable logic device. The compression step reduces the size of the configuration file. The reduction in the size of the compression file results in the reduction in the size of the memory device used to store the configuration file before it is used to program the programmable logic device.
