Abstract

Improved communication, and an improved communication interface, between the core PLD fabric of a PLD and embedded IP building blocks resident therein is provided. A circuit according to the invention may include at least two different signal paths between the PLD core fabric and embedded IP building blocks. Either one, or both, of these two paths may be used for configuration and/or implementation of the embedded IP building blocks.
