Abstract: A method includes providing a design interface to design a device schematic for a programmable device and receiving a placement of graphical objects in the device schematic, wherein the graphical objects represent components that are both internal and external to the programmable device being configured. The method further includes assigning the graphical objects into one of an internal domain and an external domain and displaying, by the processing device, the graphical objects from both the internal domain and the external domain in a single view of the design interface.

Abstract: A method includes receiving hardware description code that generically describes circuitry, and translating the hardware description code into one or more configuration files specific to a programmable system. The method further includes generating program code for a microcontroller of the programmable system based, at least in part, on the hardware description code, and configuring the programmable system to implement the circuitry according to the configuration files and the program code.
