In my previous post, I documented the configuration options available in the bitstream for the Slice M logic blocks. In order to check whether they are dynamically reconfigurable or not, I experimented with the OUTMUX multiplexer.
When D5Q ① is selected by OUTMUX, the output DMUX is registered, when O5 ② is selected, the output DMUX is not more registered.
According to my experimental results, this settings can be changed dynamically, hence switching between registered and unregistered output while the FPGA is active.

Experimental check on breadboard showed that the output was correctly unregistered after running those requests.
