Abstract
A system includes a programmable interface module located on an integrated circuit (IC), the programmable interface module configured to be programmed to operate in a plurality of modes, and communicate with at least one device external to the IC based on a selected one of the plurality of modes. Each of the plurality of modes corresponds to at least one of a type of peripheral feature, a type of communication interface, and a protocol type. An interface configuration module is configured to receive an indication of the selected one of the plurality of modes and program the programmable interface module to operate in the selected one of the plurality of modes in response to the indication.
