How can I program the FPGA differently depending on the uC configuration?

Hi everyone, I'm trying to do as follow: depending on the micro controller configuration, the FPGA will be programmed differently, implementing one function rather than another. The first way to achieve this that comes to my mind is to create many different .bit files, each one with a specific function, and depending on the configuration selected by the uC some of these files are merged together into a single specific configuration. I know this is not possible, it was just to let you better understand the situation.

Is there a way to achieve this? Do you have any idea?

Thanks a lot for your help

    Depending on your target device, you could use partial reconfiguration to reconfigure only the logic that needs to change between different configurations instead of having to reconfigure the entire device every time.

    If this is not an option, simply having a controller access a different address in a flash memory where the different config resides is all that's needed.
