Abstract:
The present invention relates to a dynamically reconfigurable processing unit (1) including an embedded Flash memory device (3) for non-volatile storage of code, data and bit-streams, the unit (1) being integrated into a single chip together with a microprocessor (2) core. Advantageously, the processing unit further comprises an S-RAM based embedded FPGA unit structured for FPGA reconfigurations having a specific programming interface (7) connected to a port (FP) of said Flash memory device (4) through a DMA channel (8).
