Bitstream programming

Started by quad January 2, 2007
Hello
I've started working on Xilinx Virtex II PRo FPGA kit for a project. Is
there a way to configure bitstreams or netlists programmatically using
C (i'm not looking at JBits!) so that i can configure the LUTs,IOBs
according to my circuit needs?
I also need to invoke iMPACT several times in my code to evaluate the
fitness of my circuit. Will OLE automation be a solution to this
problem?
Any other alternatives or suggestions please!

Hi Quad,

Most parts of the Xilinx toolchain are command line based.  You'll
probably find that you can do most of your wishes out of the box.
About the LUTs, if all else fails you can always programmatically
generate VHDL code to instantiate and wire them, and then call the
tools to implement and download it.

Regards
Marc
