Reconfigurable computers have demonstrated performance advantages over general-purpose processors for some classes of problems. However, some problems need hardware changes while in operation. A technique where a dynamic reconfiguration behavior was achieved using generic FPGA devices is shown in this work. A prototype of a reconfigurable tool for the development of applications was implemented in PC104 (IEEE) bus format for embedded applications. It uses a FPGA (field programmable gate array) and a FPID (field programmable interconnect device) responsible for logic and routing respectively.
