+
+\item[commit\_id] \hfill \\
+This field represents the binary identifier of the top-level commit used
+to build this gateware image. If the identifier is more than 128 bits long
+(e.g., \textit{git}), the field includes the leading bits. If the commit ID is numeric
+(e.g., SVN), the representation is bit-endian binary. For repositories using
+non-binary version numbers, the representation is let to the ingenuity of the
+developer, to properly convey the informations. For example, a CVS version
+like ``1.20.1.4'' can either be ASCII-encoded or represented as 4 32-bit big-endian
+fields.  Clearly, the commit\_id field raises a ``chicken-and-egg'' problem: once
+you commit the change, your commit identifier changes, maybe in unpredictable
+ways. Representing the ``previous'' commit, and then committing and sdb-only
+change is a sensible workaround.  The filed \textbf{should} be 0 if not used.

+\item[tool\_name] \hfill \\

+\item[tool\_version] \hfill \\
+The version of the synthesis tool, in a human-readable way. For example,
+it can be used as two 16-bit fields, but this really depends on how the specific
+tool names its versions.
+
+\item[date] \hfill \\
+The date of synthesis.  This \textbf{must} be either 0 (unspecified) or a 32-bit hex
+format number in the format 0xYYYYMMDD. For example, 0x20130327.
+
+\item[user\_name] \hfill \\
+This a string, encoded in  UTF-8, with trailing spaces and no terminating 0;
+it states who is the user who built the binary gateware.  This name is expected
+to be unique among the development group, so a Unix username or a nickname are good
+choices that fit the allowed space of 15 bytes.

+\item[record\_type] \hfill \\
+The record type for this structures is 0x82.
