METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REPORTING ON A PRIMARY CIRCUIT STRUCTURE OF AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT (IC) USING A SECONDARY CIRCUIT STRUCTURE OF THE IC

摘要

Some embodiments provide an integrated circuit ('IC') with a primary circuit structure. The primary circuit structure is for performing multiple operations that implement a user design. The primary circuit structure includes multiple circuits. The IC also includes a secondary monitoring structure for monitoring multiple operations. The secondary monitoring structure includes a network communicatively coupled to multiple circuits of the primary circuit structure. The secondary monitoring circuit structure is for analyzing the monitored operations and reporting on the analysis to a circuit outside of the IC.
