Hi Marek,

Thanks, I've been looking at the git repo you mentioned but as a newcomer to 
the Quartus software it's a bit opaque to me even when loaded into Quartus.  I 
hoped for a quick summary of what it includes as a way of helping me figure it 
out.

I was starting from a chain of assumptions, that vip.rbf in /dev/mmcblk0p2 on 
the MCVEVK is logic for the FPGA, that that file is already loaded into the 
FPGA during boot, and that the file is generated from the repo you mentioned.  
Apols if any of those is wrong !

Nick
