18 years agoAre you choosing an FPGA Vendor and does this have a high priority for making your decision? To my understanding it has always been a very flawed flow when trying to use it, and the slogan is that it will be fixed in the next release(like being a Cubs fan, wait until next year...) Note that Xilinx has has partial reconfiguration since the release of Virtex many, many years ago, and yet you still have to be accepted into the Early Access program to use it.
I'm sure some users have gotten it to work, but I work in the field with many customers and never ever run into this being used. Now, this is complete hearsay, so please do your own diligence. And if you use JBITs and disagree with this, please let me know. I just don't want you to make an architectural decision based on something you can't get to work or just won't use in the end.
