Any example what do you want to achieve? Bit streams may not be in raw format, so using 'cat' is not possible. Xilinx and Altera have their own bit stream "richer" format, that need to be processed before they are presented to the driver(s). So, a hotplug helper per manufacturer/FPGA is required. Assuming 'cat' will be used is too limiting. Does it make sense to you?
Thanks Yves Altera Corp.
