Bitstream Digest

Prior to Libero SoC v2021.2, the calculated digest of each bitstream component (Fabric, Security, eNVM, etc.) that gets logged during bitstream export did not include metadata such as the software version, design version, design name, and advanced bitstream options for PolarFire SoC. Libero SoC v2021.2 calculates the digest over the entire bitstream, including the metadata. This is embedded inside the bitstream in plaintext, logged during bitstream generation and export tools in Libero SoC, and shown in the FlashPro Express UI by hovering over the info icon of the device. This feature is available for SmartFusion2, IGLOO2, PolarFire, RT PolarFire, and PolarFire SoC families.

For more details, see the Libero SoC Design Flow User Guide for the specific device family.
