RE: [partial-reconfig] Simple partial reconfiguration basci system example



Hi,
If you read through the previous reply in this email, you will see the link to the partial reconfiguration lounge. At there you will see the examples, docs, and tools.
This is the link:

Have a nice weekend,

Hi,

I am new to partial reconfiguration but it's definitely an interesting
