Progammable Logic IP Cores in SoC Design: Opportunities and Challenges

Abstract
As SoC design enters into mainstream usage, the ability to make
post-fabrication changes will become more and more attractive. This ability
can be realized using programmable logic cores. These cores are like any
other IP in the SoC design methodology, except that their function can be
changed after fabrication. This paper outlines ways in which programmable
logic cores can simplify SoC design, and describes some of the challenges
that must be overcome if the use of programmable logic cores is to become a
mainstream design technique.
