  • PIPELINE ARCHITECTURE FOR CONFIGURING PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC DEVICE SYSTEMS AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20240385848
    Abstract: Various techniques are provided for configuring clients of a programmable logic device (PLD). In one embodiment, a method includes passing, from a configuration engine of a PLD, a plurality of transactions to clients of the PLD over a pipeline of the PLD. The method also includes executing each of the transactions by one or more of the clients. A first one of the transactions is a read transaction that causes at least a first one of the clients to retrieve read data and pass the read data over the pipeline. The method also includes passing the read data over the pipeline to the configuration engine. Additional systems and methods are also provided.

  • Multimedia communication bridge
    Patent number: 11451648
    Abstract: A bridge chip receives a first data stream compliant with the first multimedia communication standard. The first data stream includes first video data of a first incoming video frame, second video data of a second incoming video frame, and information describing a transfer function for the second video data, the information included in a video blanking interval of the first incoming video frame. The bridge chip extracts information describing a transfer function for the second video data. The bridge chip then generates a second data stream compliant with the second multimedia communication standard. The second data stream includes the first video data in a first outbound video frame, the second video data in a second outbound video frame, and the extracted information describing the transfer function for the second video data. Finally, the generated second data stream is transmitted to a destination device.
