Xilinx Vivado Design Suite 2017.1 HLx Editions Xilinx, Inc. has released Vivado Design Suite HLx Editions 2017.1. The Vivado HL Design Edition and HL System Edition now support partial reconfiguration. Partial reconfiguration is available for the Vivado WebPACK Edition. Xilinx partial reconfiguration technology allows you to swap FPGA-based functions in and out of your design on the fly, eliminating the need to fully reconfigure the FPGA and re-establish links. Partial reconfigurability gives you the ability to update feature sets in deployed systems, fix bugs, and migrate to new standards while critical functions remain active. This capability dramatically expands the flexible use of Xilinx All Programmable designs in a truly wide variety of applications.
