Question regarding the sample design in XAPP290.

[Kelvin, Chee]

Hi, there:

I am reading the sample design in XAPP290, regarding the partial
reconfiguration of Vertex class FPGAs.

I want to know what is the purpose of the Assembly, it seems to me, after
assembly, all three bit streams
are same 42Kb, meaning the full length.

I feel that, in the flow, from Active Module to Assembly, the link is broken
somewhere.

Do I send the bit-streams in the three Active Module to do reconfiguration,
or the three bit-streams from the assembly?

Besides that, how do I find information regarding the AREA constraints? My
chip is Vertex-2Pro 8000K. I need to see
find out the X##Y## are defined in the respective documents and how to use
it.

What is the probability of burning a chip when the synthesis, say, is no
good and caused contention...or any sorts of messed-up
errors in the bit-stream?

Best Regards,
Kelvin.
