Abstract
A method for creating a mask-programmed device from a preexisting design of a source device is provided. The method includes creating a netlist from a user defined circuit configuration file, configuring logic resources on the mask-programmed device produce basic logic elements, and generating a custom interconnect based on the netlist that interconnects the configured logic resources to produce the desired logic design.
