Determine FPGA bit-file version #24

Open lucask07 opened 2 years ago

There can be confusion when we don't know what version of Verilog code a bit file originated from. I'd propose that we use the MD5 checksum, after skipping the header information that contains the date/time of the build, to create a unique ID for bit files. See this Xilinx Answer

$ tail -c 4045674 fpga1.bit | md5sum
