A method for implementing the physical design for a dynamically reconfigurable logic circuit. The method is carried out using software that forms a physical design flow to take a design specification from a schematic or high-level description language (HDL) through to FPGA configuration bitstream files. The method involves reading a design netlist (160) that was entered the design , netlist (160) including a set of static macros (140) and a set of reconfigurable macro contexts (150). Then each of the reconfigurable macros , (150) are compiled and an initial device context is placed and routed. The device context is updated by arbitrarily selecting a context for each reconfigurable …

Why it's free to use
- Filed November 2, 2000. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended November 2, 2020.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 2, 2022.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
