Abstract

See full text

Some embodiments of the invention is a configurable integrated circuit (IC) that includes (1) several configurable logic circuits, (2) a first routing network for connecting the configurable logic circuits, (3) several user design state (UDS) circuits, and (4) a second network communicatively coupled to the UDS circuits. In least one period during the operation of the IC, the second network receives addresses for a several UDS circuits in a random access manner. In some embodiments, the second network is a debug network for reading randomly state values stored by the addressed UDS circuits during the user-design operation of the IC.
