dumpbit:
-------
        Dumpbit its a simple program wich takes a .bit file generated by
        Xilinx tools and dumps the binary stream in a file.

bit2svf:
-------
        This program is used for generate a SVF file with the needed
        sequence for store the contents of a Xilinx .bit file inside some
        PROM or FPGA.

Working mode:
             A template file with instructions for generate the svf file is
             used. A different template is used for each different algorithm.
               The format specification can be found in a README file inside
             the "templates/" dir wich also has two samples.

bitinfo:
-------
        This program was written by Sullins [davesullins@earthlink.net] and is
        used for read the header of the Xilinx bit files.
        Its internally used by bit2svf and dumpbit.
        The full distribution with its documentation can be found inside the
        bitinfo-3.0 directory.

jbit:
----
     This script, using bit2svf, generates a temporal SVF file for the
     specified device with the specified bit file and then uses the program
     JTAG for transfering it this file. When finish it erases the temp file.
     It was created for simplify the process of programming a Xilinx device
     with GPL tools.
