A configurable device "PCA-Chip2" implements the concept of Plastic Cell Architecture, which is an extension of programmable logic devices. This paper presents basic design tools for the PCA-Chip2 as the first step to develop the total design environment. Given a C description of a target function, configuration data for PCA-Chip2 is automatically generated by the tools. Trial designs by the tools are also presented to demonstrate the practicability of the proposed approach.
