When I was looking to do partial re-configuration on a past product (in
a past life), I went and contacted the Xilinx FAEs...  Only problem was
that at the time, the FAEs did not know of anyone that had attempted
it...neither outside nor inside of Xilinx. =20

As Steve said, it's all about the floorplan.  If I remember correctly
you must reconfigure on column boundaries.  This makes floorplanning a
necessity, and may limit the usable area of the device.

The project ended up going in a different direction so it was never
attempted.  Slick idea though.=20

There is a news list comp.arch.fpga.  Xilinx has appnotes on partial=20
reconfiguration.  Partial reconfig is rather tricky, and success is very

dependent on floorplanning.
