Hi John, I read your paper
entitled, “Embedded
Linux as a platform for dynamically self-reconfiguring systems-on-chip” and
I must say it’s very interesting! In my research group at the Furthermore, I started
working on the reconfiguration of the co-processor implementation about a month
ago, and currently I’m trying to create partial-bitstreams in order to
test the HWICAP and I must say creating bitstream according the appnote 290 is a
hassle. In your paper you mention the following: “To implement and
test our examples above, we used partial bit streams laboriously hand-created using
the Xilinx FPGA Editor tool. This is partly because the modular and partial
reconfiguration implementation flows are not supported for Microblaze and EDK
(Embedded Development Kit) projects. We have recently successfully
“modularised” the Microblaze flow, and are in the process of automating
this, so that reconfigurable modules may be easily specified, and interfaced to
Microblaze processor systems.” Would you be able to give me some advice
on how to easily create reconfigurable modules/partial-bitstreams, any
examples? Thanks a bunsh, Nizar --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nizar Sakr Tel: 1 (613) 562-5800 ext.2197 |
