Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, a disadvantage associated with traditional configuration methods for FPGAs or PLDs is that such configuring / programming FPGAs or PLDs typically relies on a host system connected to the FPGA or PLD to program and / or reprogram the configurable logic in the PSD

Embodiment Construction

[0014] In order to make the object, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention, not to limit the present invention.

[0015] Embodiments of the present invention disclose a configurable LB PSD with WCB and FPGA that facilitates wireless bitstream download for configuring and debugging the LB. A PSD comprising a WCB and a LB is also referred to as a Wireless Accessible PLD ("WAP") capable of operating in either programming mode or logic access mode. In programming mode, the WAP wirelessly downloads a netlist or updated configuration bitstream from a remote system over a wireless communication network for FPGA configuration. For example, the WAP detects through the WCB an FPGA access request for initiating FPGA rec...

Abstract

A programmable semiconductor device includes a wireless communication block ("WCB") capable of facilitating field programmable gate array ("FPGA") wireless programming download and functional logic implementation. In one aspect, the WCB detects an FPGA access request initiated from a remote system via a wireless communication network to initiate FPGA reconfiguration. When a configuration bitstream for programming the FPGA is received over the wireless communication network, the configuration bitstream is forwarded from the WCB to a configuration download block ("CDB") to initiate a configuration procedure. The CDB then programs at least a portion of configurable logic blocks ("LBs") in the FPGA in response to the configuration bitstream.

Description

technical field [0001] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of programmable semiconductor devices for computer hardware and software. More specifically, exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to wireless communication capabilities in Field Programmable Gate Arrays ("FPGAs") or Programmable Logic Devices ("PLDs"). Background technique [0002] With the increasing popularity of digital communication, artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IOT) and / or robot control, there is an increasing demand for fast and efficient hardware and semiconductors with processing power. To meet such demands, higher speed and more flexible semiconductor chips are generally required. The traditional approach once this requirement is met is to use application specific custom integrated circuits and / or Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) to meet this requirement. The disadvantage of the ASIC approach is that it lacks flexibility w...
