  • Communication channel for reconfigurable devices
    Patent number: 10621127
    Abstract: A communication channel for reconfiguration of a device, such as an FPGA, is described in various embodiments. One embodiment includes a physical input/output circuit, a dynamic layer, and a static layer. The static layer is programmed into the reconfigurable device to contain a configuration layer and a network layer. The configuration layer is able to receive additional layers, such as a virtual network layer and a virtual security layer and program them into the reconfigurable device. The virtual network layer can provide communication protocols, such as TCP/IP, and the virtual security layer can provide security protocols, such as TLS and IPSec. Various distributed applications can be programmed into the reconfigurable device over the network and configured to use the virtual network layer and the virtual security layer.
