Hi

I want to write driver for xilinx spartan iie xc2s50e chipset.

How to start for this case. Could you give me any suggest or idea for this?

This is FPGA Field Programmed Array. A hardware designer write some code on VHDL or Verilog describing howto it should be worked and programm this FPGA. For work with current firmware in FPGA you should have description or API. If you have, write your driver as for common chip.

With my best regards, Dmitry.

You'd have to check, but I'd imagine that you can get the datasheet from Xilinx, which would greatly assist your effort. (I know that I have a Spartan 3e sheet which I found on their site probably a year or so ago, so can't think why the 2e wouldn't be as freely available).

And pulling up a stored link, here is a project that makes use of a 2e family member, so you could likely find other some examples and code:
