The headers just about say it all. Do the PSoC chips and PSoC creator allow you to wire up a bunch of the on-board resources to perform one function and then have your program re-wire them while running to perform a different function?
For instance, suppose you're designing a modem to be used over simplex radio. (Simplex is where you take turns transmitting and receiving, as compared to full-duplex where you transmit and receive at the same time.)
Can you use all the op-amps on the chip to receive audio and decode it to digital data and then re-wire some of the op-amps to generate audio from your digital data when you switch to transmit?

I believe dynamic reconfiguration will be supported in a future version of PSoC Creator, but not sure about the time frame.

Thanks, I hope they do. For most of my purposes, that would be the equivalent of doubling the analog and digital blocks. I almost never do lots of things simultaneously, it's usually more like measure, compute, transmit, listen for instructions and then repeat. If I could re-configure between each stage, I'd have the entire chip's assets available for each phase.

PSoC Designer definitely support dynamic reconfiguration. Thanks.

As it is a more mature hardware and software eco system, PSoC 1 and PSoC Designer have a well thought out and easy to use methodology for real time reconfiguration. In fact I demonstated this at the Field Programmabel Technology Conference in December. If you search on dynamic reconfugration as the keywords on the CYpress site, you will come up with numerous articles, documents and application note.
