        XSTOOLs is a collection of Python classes for interfacing to
        XESS FPGA boards through a USB connection.
        
        Look in the ``bin`` to see several examples of command-line
        utilities that use these classes to perform operations on
        XESS boards.

        Features
        --------
        
        * Python package for accessing XuLA FPGA boards through a USB link.
        * Command-line tools for configuring the FPGA, uploading/downloading the
          serial flash and SDRAM, and running diagnostics on the board.
        * GUI tool that performs the same functions as the command-line tools.

        -------
        
        v0.1.25 (2015-06-05) 
        ---------------------
        
        * Fixed problem where flash and SDRAM couldn't be accessed in gxstools
          because I appended 'bitstream' to the attribute names.
                               
        v0.1.24 (2015-03-16)

        ---------------------
        
        * Modified setup.py so pyusb < 1.0.0b1 is installed as a dependency since the
          newer 1.0.0bX libraries cause a problem with finding XESS boards on USB ports. 
        
        V0.1.20 (2014-12-17)

        V0.1.19 (2014-12-12) 
        ---------------------
        
        * Modified setup.py so pyusb <= 1.0.0b1 is installed as a dependency since the
          newer 1.0.0b2 library causes a problem with finding XESS boards on USB ports. 
        
        v0.1.18 (2014-12-10)
