Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, the complete FPGA has a large area. When integrated into the MCU chip, it needs to increase the chip's very large area, resulting in an increase in cost. Moreover, the complete FPGA contains some unnecessary components, resulting in waste. More importantly, When it is necessary to realize that the circuits in the FPGA and other parts of the MCU chip work together, because the work of the FPGA and the MCU chip is not related to each other, this requirement is difficult to achieve

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a method and a device for the operation of an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) in an MCU (Microprogrammed Control Unit) chip. An FPGA module and a flash chip are integrated in the MCU chip, the FPGA module comprises an FPGA component and an FPGA IO (Input / Output) configuration submodule, and the FPGA IO configuration submodule is respectively connected with all elements in the MCU chip. The method includes the following steps: after the FPGA component is debugged and the MCU chip is electrified, the program data information preset in the flash chip is read; the hardware description information preset in the flash chip is read; the hardware description information is burnt into the FPGA component; the FPGA component is reset; the MCU chip adopts the FPGA to execute the program data information. The cost and waste can be reduced, and the condition that the circuit in the FPGA and the other circuits of the MCU chip can cooperatively work can also be ensured.
