Unable to find .lvbitx in sbRio-9651

[DeXteR_INIT]

Hi all,

I have just upgraded to LV18 from LV14.

In LV2014: When I deploy my RT onto a FPGA  I get a .rtexe and .lvbitx. We use the .lvbitx to identify & monitor/prevent further changes in the FPGA because it is a compiled static file and can be used for validation. Whereas, there are no constraints in modifying the RT software hence changes in .rtexe is accepted.

In LV2018 I saw that .lvbitx is not present in the target. (only .rtexe is there).

The problem is .rtexe will be different from the one deployed earlier even if it is due to changes made in the RT software.

How do I validate that the FPGA vi has not been changed without access to the .lvbitx file?

Can I extract the .lvbitx from .rtexe somehow ?

Is there any configuration that would let me deploy the .lvbitx along with rtexe. like before ?

NOTE: I know the lvbitx is there in my host system but I am obliged to do the check I mentioned above only on the application inside the target(FPGA) that is running it. So I cannot use that.

Thanks in advance,

Hello DeXteR_INIT,

The process of bitfile generation was changed and below you can find more detailed information.
