Regenerating the HDF using newer version of the tool is always

to do.


I agree. However, if you didn't, which is an entirely possible
scenario, take us for example, it doesn't rebuild, even if you did
swap the xsdk version. That is unexpected, and un-predictible
behaviour. It's way better to have the faulty/non-supported build
output every time when you are in this configuration, no matter what
the state of your work dir timestamps.

About backward compatibility... perhaps then, a "bb.warning(...)"
would be proper when the HDF and XILINX_VER_MAIN don't match? It would
perhaps help some people finding themselves in this situation
unbeknownst to them.

Thanks for your reply!
