1.2. Floorplanning

The floorplan constraints in your partial reconfiguration design physically partition the device. This partitioning ensures that the resources available to the PR region are the same for any persona that you implement.

To maximize the fabric amount available for the PR region, the reference design constrains the static region to the smallest possible area. This reference design contains two child PR regions of the parent PR region.

Note: The child regions in the parent PR region can be of any size. The small sizing of the child PR regions in the above figure is for demonstration purposes only.
