Abstract:
1. A method for creating a programmed first programmable logic device from an unprogrammed first programmable logic device by programming one said first programmable logic device, said method comprising: maintaining a library of mappings of structures of each one of a plurality of programmable logic devices onto each other of said plurality of programmable logic devices; basing said programming at least in part on structural mapping, onto said first programmable logic device, of programming for at least a second programmable logic device, said basing comprising selecting, from said library of mappings, a structural mapping of said second programmable logic device onto said first programmable logic device; and creating said programmed one of said first programmable logic device from said unprogrammed one of said first programmable logic device by programming said unprogrammed one of said first programmable logic device with said programming that has been structurally mapped from said second programmable logic device.
