Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods described herein may relate to providing a dynamically configurable circuitry able to be programed using a microsector granularity. Furthermore, selective partial reconfiguration operations may be performed use write operations to write a new configuration over existing configurations to selectively reprogram a portion of programmable logic. A quasi-delay insensitive (QDI) shift register and/or control circuitry receiving data and commands from an access register disposed between portions of programmable logic may enable at least some of the operations described.
