Abstract

A technique is applicable to a device having programmable circuitry that includes a first interface having a plurality of first address terminals, a second interface having a plurality of second address terminals, and a configurable interconnect structure coupled between the first and second interfaces. The technique includes configuring the interconnect structure during field programming to electrically couple each of the address terminals in a first subset of the first address terminals to respective address terminals in a second subset of the second address terminals according to a selected one of a plurality of different mapping functions.
