I actually don't think it's the content of the file at all. What I was trying to say about bogus data was that if I *deliberately* put in a bad checksum or extra garbage characters, I get an error indicating the data is bad, which indicates that Quartus/DSPBuilder can access the file.

However, when I use a hex file that I know has correct checksums, I get the critical warning about being unable to read the file. So I suspect it's some kind of configuration error or such.
