WARNING!!!! PyChips is no longer supported for IPbus v2.0 devices and higher. This, unfortunately, removes Python as a valid software interface to
Virtex FPGAs with firmware versions >0x25
Spartan FPGAs with firmware versions >0x11
All Kintex FPGAs
In summary, if you have been using Python releases, you will need to move to the uHAL-based AMC13 software. We apologize for the inconvenience!!
