Can any one please give me some basic explanation on the .mif file please? And in which way can the RECON core be reconfigured on the go? Is it by rewriting to this .mif file or there is a simpler way? Thanks.

A MIF file is a blob of data, much like an Intel .hex file. Altera use it in several of their IP cores often as a way to configure IP with the correct combination of parameters, eg., consider the PLL core, which contains lots of different registers, one way Altera can avoid end-users incorrectly programming the IP block is to have Quartus generate a .mif file with consistent parameters, and then have the user load the .mif file to reconfigure the core.
I'm not sure if that is exactly how the .mif file is used in this case, but you get the general idea ...
