FPGAs are configured by transfering the bit file to the FPGA. You need to folow the steps of the synthesis tool which you are using.

Re: fpga

Generate bit file , use impact to download bit file.

refer virtex2 application notes in xilinx site.

Also you can config FPGA with EEPROM or by board processor

Re: fpga

you can also use the JTAG and xilinx parallel cable.
it work fine to debyg your code.

Hello ashi...,

I think you should read section'configuration' of xilinx's datasheet. And JTAG mode is the most convenient way.

Re: fpga

I guess what you meant is how you can configure Virtex2 FPGA, there is several ways of configuration and xilinx had also some application nte regarding some of these configuration scheme so check out these application notes, Here is some numbers
XAPP079, Configuring Xilinx FPGAs Using an XC9500 CPLD and Parallel PROM
XAPP137, Configuring Virtex FPGAs From Parallel EPROMs With a CPLD
XAPP058, Xilinx In-System Programming Using an Embedded Microcontroller
To program Virtex-II Pro and other Xilinx devices with a personal computer, Xilinx
provides iMPACT as a part of the ISE software package. A free version of iMPACT is also
available through the WebPACK software suite. More information on WebPACK is
available at:

this is not all of it this is just a part so check the suitable for your application thats all
