Description

This paper describes a tool that creates partially-reconfigurable modules from the bitstreams of individual component modules. The resulting modules are intended for use in applications that exploit partial dynamic reconfiguration. The tool is integrated in a design flow particularly aimed at dynamically-reconfigurable platform FPGAs. The corresponding design flow is described together with a basic run-time support system.
