What is the RPD file format? I'm looking for ways to validate the file before programming to flash. For example, is there a checksum in the file?

Hi Bryan,

RPD is a bitstream which you can use write your own script to program into the flash. You cannot use Quartus Programmer to programm RPD into flash. To validate the bistream, you can compare the data with the .map file. .map file can be generated during RPD file generating.
