Flash Programming

Need to essentially port this C++ code (DCC2Programmer.cc) to Python.

Registers accessed in VME code in table below. See Wu's documentation for details of the VME registers, which will be very similar to the ones on AMC13 accessed through IPbus.

Name	VME address	Description
VME_csr_serial	0x10 bits 31:16	Board serial number
VME_csr_addr	0x10	Status/control register (see documentation)
F_wbuf_addr	0x800-0x8ff	flash write buffer
F_rbuf_addr	0xa00-0xaff	flash read buffer
F_cmd_addr	0x100	flash command register
