Is it possible to see the source code of a *.jic file?

Hi,

I have a *.jic file. Is it possible to see the actual VHDL code?

Thanks in advance

    No, it's not possible. It has been shown in scientific projects related to design security, that's it's possible in principle to derive the gate level logic, but not easily. A gate level description can't be unequivocally related to HDL code, however.
