If you're familiar with the command line, then the commands
h5ls -r myfile.h5 | less
h5dump myfile.h5 | less
will get you started. Otherwise, I am a big fan of using h5py [0] from python for post-processing and plotting. I also know that Matlab [1] supports hdf5 files with a simple interface.
If you're not sure whether the file is a (not corrupt) hdf5 file, you can try
file myfile.h5
If it doesn't say this, then your file is broken:
myfile.h5: Hierarchical Data Format (version 5) data
I'm not familiar with any of the software packages you mentioned, so I can't comment on those.

Example for h5py:
~ % ipython
In [1]: import h5py
In [2]: ff = h5py.File('./K1VHR_01JAN2010_0000_L02_BRT.h5', 'r')
In [3]: ff.keys()
Out[3]: [u'BRT', u'PRODUCT_INFORMATION', u'PRODUCT_METADATA']
In [4]: data = ff['BRT/BRT_Dataset'][:]
In [5]: data.shape
Out[5]: (1400, 1400)
In [6]: data[0, 0]
Out[6]: 1e+08
In [7]: data[:2, :2]
Out[7]:
array([[ 1.00000000e+08, 1.00000000e+08],
[ 1.00000000e+08, 1.00000000e+08]], dtype=float32)
