how to readback lvbitx version from compiled file?

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi,

 

The build specification for an FPGA lvbitx file allows you to set Version numbers (Major.Minor.Fix.Build). However, I cannot see how to read this information back from the compiled bitfile. With a DLL you can right click in windows (W7 64 bit) and properties -> details shows the version. This does not work for a lvbitx file.

 

Thanks

 

Andy

If you open up the bitfile in a text editor you wil see that the first part is actually just XML.  You should be able to parse the version from there (3rd line or so).
