Hello Farabi,

 

I'm sorry but I must insist, that we require the information about how to check the vulnerable parts of the Bitstream (first 1024 and last 576 Byte). Otherwise there is no way to deal with the risk of a bricked FPGA in case of update errors. 

Could you please provide Information about the structure of these parts of the bitstream. 

 

Thanks for your assistance.

Best regards

Fabian

Hello Fabian, 

 

I am escalating this to engineering. As far as I know the bitstream structure is confidential information. But let me check again with them.
