The NIKHEF digitizer FPGA design (.rbf file type) is loaded at boot time by a kernel module. Original development of this module is by Daniel Reus.
The module code can be checked out of the maxima_daq SVN project on merum (talk to me for an account), or the pre-compiled kernel modules can be downloaded here (for kernel 2.6.27).
