Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention relates to a method for downloading a binary configuration file in a programmable circuit implemented in a device. The device comprises at least one central processing unit, a plurality of connectors, and a programmable circuit enabling all or a part of the signals received by said connectors to be processed and transmitted to at least one other circuit of the device. The device analyzes the signals present on the connectors in order to define what other devices are connected and whether the connections are operational. Then, a configuration file is selected from among a set of configuration files according to the operational connections and is downloaded from a memory of the device into the programmable circuit. The invention also relates to a device having a component programmed according to the method previously described.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for configuring a programmable circuit implemented in a device, the method comprising: detecting communication signals present on connectors of the device at powering up of the device, in order to detect at least two operational connections enabling communication with at least one other device, automatically selecting at least one two configuration files among a set of configuration files according to the presence of the at least two detecte…
