The bitfiles dont need to be installed anywhere, you just pick one thats appropriate for you application/daughtercard and write it. The .pin files are the referernce info for a particular configuration so for example prob_rfx2.pin shows the configuration modules and pinout Also mesaflash can display this information for installed hardware: sudo mesaflash --device 5i25 --readhmid > > Cheers, Gene Heskett > -- > "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: > soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
