Abstract

Methods and apparatus for configuring a programmable integrated circuit are described. In one example, a configuration stream having first data for programming first locations in a configuration memory and an instruction for referencing circuitry in the programmable integrated circuit is received. Second data is obtained from the circuitry based on the instruction. Second locations in the configuration memory are programmed in response to the second data.
