Abstract
System and method for configuring a programmable logic device (PLD) using an automatically generated configuration control file. A control file contains directives for configuring a PLD with a configuration bitstream, wherein the directives are in a selected language. A configuration control file generator is programmed to automatically create the control file with the directives in the selected language. In another embodiment, the particular directives and sequence of the directives that are generated are dependent on a selected configuration mode for the PLD. In performing the directives, configuration control signals are applied to the PLD, and the configuration bitstream is provided to the PLD.
