摘要
Methods and structures for protecting programmable logic device (“PLD”) programming files are disclosed. In one respect, an embodiment of the present invention includes applying a particular protective setting to a PLD, the setting has a relationship to proper programming of the PLD. A configuration program generates programming data including a non-pre-processed and a pre-processed portion. The pre-processed data reflects the results of processing that is carried out off-device (e.g. by the configuration program on a user computer), but is consistent with the logic of certain on-device processing circuitry. The pre-processing also takes into account information regarding the particular applied setting. The non-pre-processed portion of the programming data is further processed by the certain on-device processing circuitry. The output of the on-device processing circuitry is combined with the pre-processed portion of the programming data in a bit stream for programming the PLD. In another respect, some embodiments utilize a PLD redundancy scheme for implementing programming data protection.
