History¶
v0.1.31 (2016-03-09)¶
- Sped-up memory reads & writes from/to the SDRAM.
v0.1.30 (2015-09-02)¶
- Removed include in README.rst that caused an error generating the documentation.
v0.1.29 (2015-08-10)¶
- Specifying the board model on the CLI utilities is now case-insensitive.
v0.1.28 (2015-08-09)¶
- Now supports pyusb versions 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b.
- The utilities only connect to the USB port when they are actively executing some function for the attached XESS board. This allows other utilities to access the board.
- Added drag-and-drop capability for selecting bitstream and hex files.
- A history of bitstream and hex files is maintained.
- Exceptions caused by pyusb on program termination are now caught and filtered out.
v0.1.27 (2015-07-31)¶
- Removed scripts in bin directory and placed them in the xstools directory.
- Added entrypoints to generate executables for the XSTOOLs scripts.
v0.1.26 (2015-06-06)¶
- Changed distribution to use readthedocs for documentation.
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 usb2serial.py to prevent accidental triggering of serial BREAK.
v0.1.23 (2015-02-03)¶
- Modified usb2serial.py and xscomm.py to support new serial BREAK command.
- Added .cmd file to initiate each XSTOOLs script in a Windows command window.
v0.1.22 (2015-01-26)¶
- Modified usb2serial.py to support non-ZPUino use of the USB-to-serial server.
v0.1.21 (2015-01-07)¶
- 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)¶
- Modified setup.py to include microcontroller firmware hex files for the XESS boards.
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)¶
- Fixed query for XESS USB devices which failed for some USB libraries.
v0.1.17 (2014-11-06)¶
- Fixed handling of XuLA/XuLA2 boards with old firmware or with the USB-to-JTAG path disabled.
v0.1.16 (2014-10-27)¶
- Added command-line and GUI methods for setting/getting flags in XuLA/XuLA2 boards.
- Enabled loading of .bit files into serial configuration flash via gxstools.
- Updated hex file to newest version of the PIC 18F14K50 firmware.
- Added USB-to-serial bridge server between XuLA board and virtual comm port on PC.
v0.1.15 (2014-05-16)¶
- Added support for upload/download of signed integers to memio methods.
v0.1.14 (2014-05-05)¶
- Fixed FPGA bitstreams to remove errors during SDRAM upload/download.
v0.1.13 (2014-04-09)¶
- Add bidirectional communication channel between host and FPGA: xscomm.py.
v0.1.12 (2014-02-03)¶
- Added graphical front-end to XSTOOLs: gxstools.py.
v0.1.11 (2014-01-03)¶
- Fixed bit direction for checking status bits in xsi2c.py.
v0.1.10 (2013-11-20)¶
- Added support for XuLA2-LX9 board.
v0.1.9 (2013-05-15)¶
- Added ability to load Xilinx bitstream files directly into serial configuration flash.
- Fixed byte order of addresses sent to the W25X serial flash.
v0.1.8 (2013-05-14)¶
- Fixed FlashDev class so address bounds could not go outside the min/max addresses for the device.
v0.1.7 (2013-05-11)¶
- Added FlashDevice class for reading/writing flash memory devices.
- Made Pic18f14k50 class inherit from the FlashDevice class for flash read/write operations.
- Added routines for reading/writing serial configuration flash on the XuLA and XuLA2 boards.
- Extended xsload.py to enable serial flash uploading and downloading.
v0.1.6 (2013-04-30)¶
- Fixed xsusbprg.py so it works under linux.
- Fixed USB read/write timeouts so they are dependent upon the amount of data transferred.
- Replaced exit() with sys.exit() in scripts.
v0.1.5 (2013-04-19)¶
- Added XuLA firmware .hex files for use with xsusbprg.py.
- Fixed xsusbprg.py so it would upgrade XuLA board firmware by default.
- All user-accessible scripts now use xstools_defs.py to get a unified version #.
- Added .rules file for USB connections to XESS boards.
v0.1.4 (2013-04-01)¶
- Replaced bitarray module with pure-Python bitstring module.
v0.1.3 (2013-02-15)¶
- Fixed so multiple XsUsb objects can share a single USB link to access an XESS board.
v0.1.2 (2013-02-14)¶
- Changed CR-LF EOL in .py files to LF EOL so linux wouldn’t barf.
v0.1.1 (2013-01-23)¶
- Use pypubsub instead of wxpython for publish/subscribe communications.
v0.1.0 (2013-01-06)¶
- Initial release.
