RE: [partial-reconfig] Problem with partial reconfiguration on ML501

["Adarsha Sreeramareddy" <adarshs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am using the same ICAP and driver versions as in the tutorial. It is
xps_hwicap v1.00.a and driver v2.00.a.

Thanks,
Adarsha

 I dont know which version of the ICAP and its driver you used, did you use
the same version as in the tutorial?
