[partial-reconfig] Re: Partial Reconfiguration

Steve,

Sorry for the late answer. I was in holidays.

The post has been updated :) !

I have two questions for you, please :

When do you plan to release ISE 11.1 ? and
When do you plan to release the next version of Spartan Series ( Spartan-4 ? ) ? 

Best Regards,

               Guillaume

Guillaume,

It looks like the FAQ was taken from a comp.arch.fpga post I did many
months ago, so it's a little out of date.

There are a couple of answers I'd like to change:

Q: Why don't you release the software with ISE?
A: The plan is to release it with ISE in version 11.1.  For now, we have
a team assigned to fix bugs in the early access code as soon as they are
found.

Q: Should I feel comfortable adding partial reconfig to my current
application?
A: You should recognize that the partial reconfig software is still
early access. Contact your local FAE to determine if it is appropriate
for your design.

The following Q/A should be deleted:
Q: The software license fees are $3k - $5k.  How can we use this for
reconfigurable computing?
A; I'm not sure where these prices came from.  If you are creating a
reconfigurable computer, contact me and we can discuss an OEM deal for
much less money.

Eric Shiflet is the technical marketing engineer responsible for partial
reconfig, so I have copied him on this email.

Steve

Misters,
Let me introduce myself : Guillaume FORTAINE, French Engineer in Computer Science. Some people know me and some other don't. In all the cases, it's an honour for me to send to you this mail. I am currently doing researches about FPGAs engineering and more specifically Partial Reconfiguration 



I have just created a topic dedicated to partial reconfiguration for the

first Linux distro with Open Source FPGA support.

http://openflightlinux.org/helpforum/index.php?topic=37.0

I look forward to your comments,

Best Regards,

                Guillaume FORTAINE
