Hi, I try to find some information about the internal structure of the configuration-frames for Xilinx Virtex-II (Pro) architecture. On Xilinx websites I just find informations about the configuration-memory-addressing for these architectures and some informations for the Virtex architecture, but i`m intressted in the meaning of the bits in the frames. Can anybody help me? At the moment I plan to use JBits and analyze the bitstream(s) afterwards, but this won`t be the best way. thx, Sven

There are some tools you can use to reverse engineer for yourself, such as the "-l" switch to bitgen, the ngc2xdl, and so on. This subject is/has been discussed at some length on the partial-reconfig mailing list - details here: http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~jwilliams/mblaze-uclinux/Mailing_List/ Googling a topic and adding the search term "partial-reconfig" often finds the list archive as well. Hope this helps, John
