Abstract

An FPGA/HD assembly is self-contained by integrating with the FPGA with the HDD assembly, with the HDD storing the in-circuit programming for the FPGA, and modifying the FPGA to cooperate with any selected interface under the control of the embedded controller in the HDD. The in-circuit programming data is stored directly on a selected partition of the HDD, leaving as much space as needed for any other data traditionally stored on the HDD. The controller would locate the specific in-circuit data and locate the appropriate soft core into the FPGA upon receiving a command identifying the bus which is to be interfaced within any selected operation.
