Re: [partial-reconfig] Using ICAP drivers with EDK 8.1 or 8.2



Thanks for the reply,

Yes, I can use the JTAG to apply the partial bitstreams.  I have
applied the bitstreams before starting the microblaze, but I will need
to to more testing to validate the microblaze continues to run when I
apply the bitstream with the JTAG while uClinux is running.

I will take a look at the opb_hwicap drivers in the distribution.  I
have access to previous versions, so I may be able to compare the
Xilinx drivers.  If anyone has experience with 8.1 or 8.2 it would be
nice to here from them them.

Thanks,

David

Hi David,

Can you "apply" these partial bitstreams via Impact/JTAG?  My memory
(it's a while ago) is that this should work "transparently" - if that
locks up the MicroBlaze, then the problem may be with the bitstreams not
the driver.

Bear in mind that the ICAP driver contains a snapshot of Xilinx's own
low level ICAP access code from several years ago - pre Virtex4 if I am
right.  It might be worth trying to track down a more recent version (do
they still distribute the opb_xhwicap core) and grab the drivers for
that?  The Linux adapter/interface code should be relatively unchanged.

Regards,

John
