Abstract
A system and method for configuring routing resources of a programmable logic device are presented in various embodiments. In one embodiment, a first function is provided that automatically generates configuration bits for configuration of routing resources to connect a source to a sink. The input parameters to the to the first function include the source and the sink. A second function is provided to automatically generate configuration bits for configuration of routing resources that connect a source to a plurality of sinks. The second function is responsive to input parameters specifying the source and plurality of sinks. Additional program interfaces are provided and each provides various controls over the routing process.
