Hello,

I am developing a partial reconfigurable system and one of the
requirements of my system is that one needs to read and update the
contents of the BRAM using the ICAP port. My question is that if I
configure Xilinx BRAM for a data width greater than 1, say 8 then will
all the 8 bits corresponding to the particular byte be in the same BRAM
configuration frame? or will they be distributed among multiple frames?
If so are there any equations that indicate how the 8 bits within the
required byte are distributed in the configuration bit stream.

I read XAPP 151 but that does not give any information in this regard.
Though it provides equations for finding the location of a particular
bit based on the bit index there is no mention about the bit indices
for the 8 bits within the byte.

Thanks
Harish

Why not just generate 2 streams with different initialised content and compare them ?
