1. A method of monitoring operations of an integrated circuit (IC), the IC comprising a set of configurable circuits for configurably performing a set of operations based on configuration data, the method comprising:

  • loading a first set of configuration data into the IC to configure a plurality of configurable circuits in the set of configurable circuits to perform operations of a user design;

    receiving a definition of (i) an event based on values of a set of signals in the user design and (ii) a set of corresponding actions to take when the event occurs;

    generating an incremental second set of configuration data based on the definition of the event and the set of corresponding actions; and

    while the IC is performing the operations of the user design, loading the incremental second set of configuration data into the IC to monitor for the event and to take the set of actions when the event occurs.
