Abstract:
A method for configuring a chip having a plurality of on-chip configurable features. The plurality of on-chip configurable features is disabled before delivery of the chip to a new location. The chip is delivered to a new location where a unique hardware identifier and data for at least one of the on-chip configurable features is retrieved. The unique hardware identifier and the data are transmitted to an enabling entity. The enabling entity sends the enablement configuration to the chip. The chip is programmed with the enablement configuration, which enables the at least one on-chip configurable feature at the new location.
