Re: [partial-reconfig] Problem with xc2v1000 board



Umar,

I was working with the tutorial so that I could validate my hardware 
setup so that when I start designing my own circuits and they don't work 
I'll know that the fault is probably in my design ;) and not in the 
hardware chain. The 1st board listed below is the one that I'm currently 
working with as it has a selectmap interface that's accessible because 
programming the board using the jtag interface doesn't seem to be 
updating the running circuit.

The boards that I will be using are:

1. http://www.memec.com/uploaded/Virtex-IIMB.pdf  which is based round 
the xc2v1000
2. http://www.memec.com/uploaded/VirtexIIPro_FF1152_2.pdf which is based 
round xc2vp50
3. A board based round the xc2v40 which I can't find a weblink for but 
its marked as "Xilinx HS Demo Rev 03"

The reason I've chosen these boards is pretty simple they are the only 
one available in the lab to work with :) and I haven't been working with 
them long enough to know there good/bad points.
