1. A diagnostic device for diagnosing a programmable logic device that is embedded within an electronic system, the diagnostic device comprising:

  • an access controller configured to be embedded within an electronic system and for communicating to a programmable logic device embedded therein;

    a diagnostic control module configured to be embedded within an electronic system and transmitting diagnostic signals via the access controller to the programmable logic device where the diagnostic signals are received from a network in response to a diagnostic request, the diagnostic control module including logic for collecting output signals generated by the programmable logic device in response to the diagnostic signals, and the output signals serving to diagnose the programmable logic device; and

    a reconfiguration control module coupled to the access controller for reconfiguring the programmable logic device based on output signals generated by the programmable logic device.
