18 years ago --- Quote Start --- Hello, You hit the point. None of Altera FPGAs offers dynamic or partial reconfiguration of central logic function, the refconfiguraion option present in some newer devices is restricted to PLL or GXB interfaces. Thus the configuration as a whole has to be swapped to change logic definition. In this field, competitors are one step ahead. Regards, Frank --- Quote End --- But alas, while they are marketing ahead, they do not possess any solid practical tool methodology to efficiently achieve said partial reconfiguration. And just to set the record straight, Concurent Logic (bought by ATMEL) was the first FPGA company to commerially offer partial reconfiguration to the user. And it worked great as well.
