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:
