Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for configuration and upset recovery of reconfigurable devices are provided. A central program/recovery manager (CPRM) is coupled with each of a number of reconfigurable devices. The reconfigurable devices are programmed/configured by the CPRM, which then periodically monitors each of the reconfigurable devices to detect if one or more of the devices has experienced an upset. In the event of an upset, the CPRM may attempt to reset the reconfigurable device, scrub a memory of the reconfigurable device, or reprogram the reconfigurable device. A memory module is coupled with the CPRM and each of the reconfigurable devices that stores bit or programming files that may be used to program and/or reprogram the reconfigurable devices.
