1. A method of storing design information in an integrated circuit (IC) comprising: generating a plurality of status information related to an IC design, wherein the IC design is obtained from a compilation of a design file, wherein the compilation includes a plurality of analysis operations, and wherein the plurality of status information is generated based on the plurality of analysis operations; encoding the plurality of status information; generating a configuration file based on the compiled IC design, wherein the configuration file comprises the encoded plurality of status information; and configuring the IC with the configuration file, wherein the encoded plurality of status information is stored in the IC during the configuration of the IC.
