Dynamic reconfiguration provides interesting features offering hardware flexibility and adaptability. Unfortunately, the lack of programming tools to manage it has limited its use in current SoCs. This paper presents a method to abstract, at design-time, dynamic reconfiguration management. Dynamic Hardware Multiplexing is a generic principle based on a scheduler dedicated to reconfigurable resources management at run-time. Formal background, implementation, simulation results and validations are exposed to illustrate the contribution of this study.
