I embed the "time of compile" into the FPGA, using a TCL script to
create a (very simple) VHDL file.
I also overwrite that VHDL file after synthesis, so you can't
accidentally re-compile an FPGA with the same timestamp in it.
I also embed the timestamp into the UserID of the bitstream, which
means I can very easily read it out using JTAG, which is handy in some
cir***stances.
Cheers,
Martin
