Chapter 29. xlmload firmware loader for XLM modules via VM-USB controllers.

NSCL makes extensive use of both JTEC XLM-72 and XLM-72V boards. These boards are VME boards with an FGPA and a large number of input/output pins. The program xmload supports loading these modules either over a direct connection to the VMUSB or via a properly configured VMUSBReadout slow controls server. See xlmload for information about how to use this program.

Note that module support for specific firmware in XLM's in the VMUSBReadout usually supports loading firmware into the associated physical module. This program allows you to use XLM firmware that does not need to be touched by the VMUSBReadout program.
