Abstract
A programmable device having a multi-boot capability is described. The programmable device may initially load first configuration data for configuring programmable resources of the device. Thereafter, a multi-boot operation may be triggered, causing the device to reconfigure and load second configuration data. Prior to loading the second configuration data, the device may store status information. In some cases, further multi-boot operations may be triggered for loading other configuration data.
