1. An architecture disposed in an integrated circuit for in-application programming of flash-based programmable logic devices comprising:

  • a processor in the integrated circuit and coupled to a processor system bus;

    an I/O peripheral in the integrated circuit and coupled to the processor over the system bus and coupled to an off-chip data source;

    a programmable logic array fabric in the integrated circuit and including flash-based programmable devices;

    a programming controller in the integrated circuit configured to program the flash-based programmable devices; and

    an in-application programming controller in the integrated circuit and coupled to the processor, the in-application programming controller separate from the programming controller and configured to control the operation of the programming controller in response to commands from the processor;

    wherein the processor is configured to perform other tasks while the in-application programming controller executes the commands.
