Hi Aik Eu,

I understand that the GHRD contains the basic hardware. My doubt is coming from the size of two .sof files. The size of .sof generated by compiling the GHRD in quartus is around 250 Mb while the same file after adding the .hex file is around 3 Mb (_hps_debug.sof).

So, does the _hps_debug.sof file contain all the bitstream information that is present in the first .sof file or does it only have the HPS related information in it that is enough for debugging HPS?
