Young-Il Kim, Bong-Il Park, Jae-Gon Lee, Chong‐Min Kyung · Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference · 2004
This paper describes an interface controller called SmartGlue which enables a processor to interface with peripherals and makes a system reconfigurable by programming FPGA on the fly. By supporting standard interfaces and plug and play mechanism for the processor and FPGA, one can use any type of processors and FPGA's to implement a field programmable computing machine. The performance and utility of the SmartGlue was validated by applying its silicon implementation into a real system.
