Linux/Windows bitfile equivalence?

--- Quote Start ---

The Linux and Windows tools don't produce the same bitfile (either sof or jic) - is this to be expected?

The tools I'm using are:

XP SP3, 32-bit: 12.1/SP1 build 243

Linux x86_64: 12.1/SP1 build 243, 32-bit

There are lots of differences in the output - it's not just a date, for example.

From memory some of the tools include the tool version in the sof/pof so differing output files isn't surprising.

(I think if you should get an identical file out of each tool when it's run if all inputs are the same).

Nial.
