Hi all, I'm looking for documentation for the Raw binary file format and Tabular Text file format. Is this freely available, or will I have to talk to Altera directly?
Is the bitstream interally documented? (i.e. would require an agreement between my university and Altera)
I am writing a masters' thesis on SEU mitigation for safety-critical FPGA applications in regards to interconnect switches. The current CRC calculation rates are far too slow for our purposes. --- Quote Start --- Although configuration data is quite complex, scientific studies have shown, that it's basically possible to reveal gate level logic information from it. I think, the topic has been discussed at Altera forum before. --- Quote End --- Is there a link to this discussion? my searches yield back nothing. I am aware that it is possible to reverse-engineer netlist information from the bitstream, but this is not my purpose.
