1. A method of configuring a field-programmable gate array (“FPGA”) containing a configurable microcontroller unit (“MCU”) via a two-phase configuration process, the method comprising:
configuring at least a portion of FPGA in accordance with first configuration data retrieved from a first configuration memory to behave as a configurable MCU containing at least one programmable bit for subsequent programming of an MCU attribute by a user to emulate a processor function and a memory function; and
configuring the configurable MCU in response to a second configuration data retrieved from a second configuration memory to perform at least one user-defined MCU function.
