who can help me? i want to know the bitsream format of Virtex-II

It's binary format, but you can see the design file name, chip ID and date & time of creation in the first

Binary format and secret! Good for protecting designs against piracy but too many problems for those who want to do dynamic reconf :-(

Is not so difficult, is question of patiente and experience and know very well what you are doing.

Yeah I was aware of that, dynamic reconf is a nightmare. Worked on that thingy before and never again.

Patience is an understatement. The tools for partial reconfiguration are virtually non-existent. Without suitable tools, using dynamic partial reconfiguration in a design is a lot of painstaking work, and with the size of the devices available today is not economically justified in the vast majority of applications. A comprehensive set of tools for working with partial reconfiguration could easily change that, but I don't expect to see the necessary extensions to the tools any time soon.
