does stratic III or Stratix II devices support partial reconfiguraion

Hello every one

I need to inquire this question that stratix II or III devices do not support partial reconfiguration?

Does anyone has experience of working over Xtremedata XD1000 or XtremeData XD2000i devices which has Stratix II and III respectively as supporting FPGA for a co-processor system?

if yes, then Is partial re-configuration possible through the HyperTransport medium (through AMD processors)

Thanks

    I don't believe that XtremeData ever _really_ got this to work properly...particularly the partial reconfiguration bit. DRC Computer did get things figured out, but I believe only with Xilinx products. You can contact the DRC folks as they're still around doing this sort of thing. It looked (to me) as if XtremeData had moved onto "big data"...pure software from the looks of it.

    Cheers!

    thanks for info...

    But I hope that by "I don't believe that XtremeData ever _really_ got this to work properly" You do mean that partial-reconfiguraion didn't work, otherwise the system looks quite fascinating !!!
