Abstract

Method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for circuit design for a programmable device is described. In one example, a logical description of a circuit design having static logic and reconfigurable logic is imported into a graphical environment. The circuit design is processed in the graphical environment. In particular, the logical description is floorplanned to locate the static logic and the reconfigurable logic in a floorplan of the programmable device. At least one design rule check (DRC) is performed. A partial reconfiguration implementation of the circuit design is then managed for the programmable device.
