Abstract: Various techniques are provided to implement multi-chip secure and programmable systems and methods. In one example, a multi-chip module system for providing an integrated programmable logic functionality and security functionality. The multi-chip module system includes a first die including a programmable logic device (PLD) configured to provide at least a portion of the programmable logic functionality. The multi-chip system further includes a second die including a security engine configured to perform at least a portion of the security functionality. The security engine is further configured to receive, from the first die, data associated with a first and second configuration image; perform a read operation on a memory for the second configuration image based on the data; and authenticate the second configuration image. The multi-chip system further includes a configuration engine configured to program the PLD according to the first configuration image. Related devices and methods are provided.
