Abstract

In one embodiment, a programmable logic device includes: a multiplexer adapted to select a compressed configuration bitstream from a plurality of external serial interface memories; a serial interface processor adapted to command the bitstream selection by the multiplexer; and a bitstream decompressor adapted to decompress the selected configuration bitstream into a decompressed configuration bitstream.
