| 1. A method for implementing a programmable chip, the method comprising:
receiving intellectual property core information identifying a plurality of intellectual property cores for implementation
on a programmable chip;
receiving parameter information associated with the plurality of intellectual property cores for implementation on the programmable
chip;
generating custom design files for implementing the plurality of intellectual property cores parameterized using parameter
information on the programmable chip;
generating an identification sequence, the identification sequence configured to provide information identifying the plurality
of intellectual property cores and parameters used to parameterized the plurality of intellectual property cores;
implementing the plurality of intellectual property cores parameterized using parameter information on the programmable chip
using a first plurality of lookup tables;
writing the identification sequence to a second plurality of lookup tables.
