Abstract
A method and apparatus to allow dynamic port provisioning of communication ports within a Programmable Logic Device (PLD). The dynamic port provisioning combines configuration of serial Input/Output (I/O) devices with simultaneous reconfiguration of a portion of programmable logic resources within the PLD and processor functions to implement a particular communication protocol. The dynamic port provisioning is facilitated for a single channel, without affecting the dynamic port provisioning of other communication channels operating within the PLD.
