Abstract:
An integrated circuit (IC) performs self-healing and reconfiguration of a portion of the IC. In response to determining that a portion of the IC should be configured, a clock to the portion of the IC to be configured is halted. That portion of the IC is then configured using a processing core that is included in the IC. The processing core is also used to perform an intended function of the IC that is different than the configuration.
