在本文中，我们介绍了Recobus-Builder工具链，该链简化了动态可重新配置的系统几乎是按钮过程。生成的系统提供了一个或多个资源区域，在运行时，不同部分可重新配置的模块将使用它们。可以同时将多个可部分重新配置的模块集成到同一资源区域中，并且这些模块可以通过固定的总线基础架构或专用的点对点链接与系统的其他部分进行通信。这允许建筑封装的模块将通过在运行时链接到bitstreams将其集成到系统中。我们将证明，可以通过消除长时间的合成或位置和路线步骤来进一步使用Bitstream链接来加快静态系统的设计过程，而当仅交换了设计的一小部分。
In this paper, we present the ReCoBus-builder tool chain that simplifies the generation of dynamically reconfigurable systems to almost a push-button process. The generated systems provide one or more resource areas that will be used by different partially reconfigurable modules at runtime. It is possible to integrate multiple partially reconfigurable modules into the same resource area at the same time and these modules can communicate via a fixed bus infrastructure or dedicated point-to-point links with other parts of the system. This allows building encapsulated modules that will be integrated into the system by linking together bitstreams at runtime. We will demonstrate that bitstream linking can further be used to speed up the design process of static only systems by eliminating long synthesis runs or place and route steps, when only small portions of a design are exchanged.
