Is there a possibility to embed some custom information in rbf programming file for indentification?

Hello,

I have a problem of version control. So, I'm seeking for possible variants to identify the version of rbf-file that was written to fpga.

May be there is some possibility to form a unique byte pattern in rbf that can be used as identificator?

I would appreciate any help in that issue.

Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    May I know if you are differentiating on which Quartus version is used or your design rbf file? May I know which device family are you referring to?

      Hi,

      I'm differentiating on design rbf file. I want to be able to understand what project it belongs to by analyzing it's structure, some unique byte pattern.

      Currently, I'm using Cyclone V and Cyclone 10 GX devices.

    Hi,

    I am sorry to tell you that it is impossible to differentiate the rbf depending on your project design
