Abstract:
Systems and methods for adding a logic layer between FPGA I/O and the core logic of the FPGA. With the extra layer, users can monitor and/or modify the I/O to the FPGA. In addition, users can monitor and/or modify input/output to the core logics of the FPGA, thereby filtering both I/O to the FPGA and the logic blocks of the FPGA. With the filtering in place, a non-intrusive digital scope can be implemented which can, in turn, be used to create a “black box” regarding FPGA I/O during the occurrence of the catastrophic events within the system.

Claim (Index 8):
A system comprising:\n a processor; a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA); and a computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:\n receiving a FPGA program bit stream; \n generating, based at least in part on the FPGA bit stream, a plurality of FPGA programming logic segments; \n modifying, based at least in part on the FPGA programming logic segments, an FPGA to comprise a core logic layer and a filtering layer, wherein the filtering layer comprises a first set of logic blocks within the FPGA and the core logic layer comprises a second set of logic blocks within the FPGA, the first set of logic blocks being distinct from the second set of logic blocks; \n receiving a first input associated with the core logic layer, wherein the first input is one or more predefined inputs; and \n in response to determining that the first input is one or more of the predefined inputs, modifying the first input to prevent the first input from being received by the core logic layer.
