Hi all,
I have a concern about loading a new bitstream on the 7350 FPGA. The
documentation I'm referencing is the writeup linked in [1] and
referenced by the board preliminary manual.

My concern is basically related to the following sentence, which
appear at the end of such document and apply to the shown update
procedure:

"The above code would typically be put in the /linuxrc file"

Here it comes my big concern. Does the given procedure need to be
executed at every boot? That sentence suggest me to answer positively,
while I expected the tool load_ts7350 to update the internal FPGA
flash with the new bitstream, making it available at next reboot.

Since I only have the binary of load_ts7350 and I don't know how to
check which bitstream version is installed on the FPGA (is there any
way?), could please anybody clarify if I'm having the new bitstream
available at reboot or not?

Thanks in advance,

Andrea
