@ FvM

The bug is not related on compression.

- perfrom a complete compile with 9.0 tools ... everything is fine

- perfrom the same complete compile with 9.1 ... does not start

- use files from 9.1 (sof & elf) and generate epcs related files on 9.0 tools... works

- use sof & elf from 9.0 and generate epcs files on 9.1 ... does not start

checkbox w/wo of compressed bitstream has no effect.

comandline option --compress w/wo has no effect

to sumarize ... 9.1 does not produce startable epcs related files out of sof & elf regardless where they were generated, but 9.0 does. workaround compile with 9.1 and generate epcs files with 9.0 via a comandline script (bash)

MySupport gave couple of ideas what to try but none worked.

only patch 063 helps.
