A new online design method is proposed to design algorithm-level digital hardware systems, in which the run-time parameterizable （RTP） cores are utilized as building blocks, and the function of the soft IP core may change real time according to consumer＇s demand. The concept and model of evolvable RTP core is given, and the design method is proof-tested by a HDB3 coder system-on-chip. Using the building blocks of evolvable RTP cores, any algorithm-level digital hardware system can be evolutionary designed online, and perform self-adapting and self-repairing online, thus open a viable way for the realworld applications of evolvable hardware.
