Don't Re-Load FPGA when Running Application v1.7.0

I am wondering if it's possible to force OpenCPI applications to abort if
the current FPGA image that is loaded can't adhere to the requirements that
the application needs.

Working with OpenCPI v1.7.0 with a slight modification to the HDL side of
things as per some off-list recommendations, the FPGA load sometimes
fails.  Once this happens, I need to ocpihdl load a known image otherwise
my platform comes up as zed and nothing is ever found.

Is there some argument I can pass to any ocpirun that won't reload the FPGA
at all?

Thanks,
Brian
