hsb-flash SKILL.md skillA
hsb-flash from nvidia/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add nvidia/skills/hsb-flash@v1.0.0Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Flash the FPGA on an HSB board connected to an NVIDIA devkit. Supports HSB Lattice boards (FPGA versions 2407, 2412, 2507, 2510) and Leopard Imaging VB1940 "all-in-one" cameras (FPGA versions 2507, 2510). Uses release-specific YAML manifests and board-type-specific program commands. Lattice and VB1940 commands must never be mixed.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# HSB FPGA Flash Use this skill when the user wants to flash (upgrade or downgrade) the FPGA firmware on an HSB board connected to a supported NVIDIA devkit. **This skill supports two board types:** 1. **HSB Lattice boards** — standalone FPGA board with a Lattice CPNX100 FPGA 2. **Leopard Imaging VB1940** — "all-in-one" camera with an integrated Lattice FPGA **CRITICAL SAFETY RULE: Never mix board-type commands.** Using `program_leopard_cpnx100` on a Lattice board or `program_lattice_cpnx100` on a VB1940 **can permanently brick the device**. The skill must detect and confirm the board type before any flash operation, and refuse to proceed if the board type is ambiguous or mismatched. This workflow has side effects (it permanently modifies FPGA firmware). Never run it automatically. Only run it when the user explicitly invokes it. **Usage warning:** This skill flashes the FPGA with new firmware. Before invoking it, ask the user to make sure they have enough Claude Code usage/tokens to complete the workflow. ## Before you start — required gates (do these first, in order) …

How to install
mdr add nvidia/skills/hsb-flash@sha256:17b105ebf36066eaThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
