Abstract
Various approaches for converting configuration data for programmable circuits are disclosed. In one embodiment, a first configuration bitstream is provided. The first configuration bitstream has a format compatible with a first protocol for communicating with and configuring the programmable circuit. A second protocol is selected for communicating with and configuring the programmable circuit, and the first configuration bitstream is converted to a second configuration bitstream. The second configuration bitstream has a format compatible with the second protocol. The programmable circuit is configured with the second configuration bitstream.
