11 years agoHey Frank,
If your RSU controller is running on the FPGA and reading the .RBF header, then its not much different having it read the mkimage header. At least you get to control what the header includes then :) I have not looked at the format of the .RBF with Cyclone V devices. I did play around with the JRunner and SRunner source. While playing with that code I realized that it should be possible to "port" the code to run with a fake FPGA, i.e., if you wrote some code for a fake FPGA that knew how to interpret the .RBF then, you could get JRunner and SRunner to configure and verify your fake FPGA. If I really needed to know what the .RBF header was, and these tools worked with Cyclone V, then using these tools and a debugger might be one way to investigate further. Cheers, Dave
