For example:¶

1) Reporting xclbin information

: xclbinutil --info --input binary_container_1.xclbin

2) Extracting the bitstream image: xclbinutil --dump-section BITSTREAM:RAW:bitstream.bit --input binary_container_1.xclbin 3) Extracting the build metadata : xclbinutil --dump-section BUILD_METADATA:HTML:buildMetadata.json --input binary_container_1.xclbin 4) Removing a section : xclbinutil --remove-section BITSTREAM --input binary_container_1.xclbin --output binary_container_modified.xclbin 5) Signing xclbin : xclbinutil --private-key key.priv --certificate cert.pem --input binary_container_1.xclbin --output signed.xclbin

Private key used in signing the xclbin image.

-q [ --quiet ]

Minimize reporting information.

--remove-key arg

Removes the given user key from the xclbin archive.

--remove-section arg

Section name to remove.

--remove-signature

--replace-section arg

Section to replace.

--target arg

Target flow for this image. Valid values: hw, hw_emu, and sw_emu.

--validate-signature

Validates the signature for the given xclbin archive.

-v [ --verbose ]

Display verbose/debug information.

--version

Version of this executable.

--file-check

Check for Linux file command utility compliance

Addition Syntax Information --------------------------- Syntax: <section>:<format>:<file>

<section> - The section to add or dump (e.g., BUILD_METADATA, BITSTREAM, etc.)

Note: If a JSON format is being used, this value can be empty.

If so, then

the JSON metadata will determine the section it is associated with.

In addition, only sections that are found in the JSON file will be reported.

<format>

- The format to be used. Currently, there are three formats available:

RAW: Binary Image; JSON: JSON file format; and HTML: Browser visible.

Note: Only selected operations and sections supports these file types.

<file>

- The name of the input/output file to use.

Used By: --add_section and --dump_section Example: xclbinutil --add-section BITSTREAM:RAW:mybitstream.bit
