Byte order in RBF file

I'm trying to load a device in FPPx16 mode. As the code reads a byte at a time from the RBF file, is the first byte the lower 8 bits or the upper 8 bits? Do I need to flip the order of the bits? ...

Hi,

I am not sure regarding the FPPx16 mode, but when you want to program the .rbf-file into a SPI-flash for AS-configuration, the bits inside a byte need to be flipped. So this is at least a realistic possibility ;-)
