Overview

PyChipBuilder is a Python implementation of zGlue’s ChipBuilder tool. For now, the only supported functions are bring-up, debug, and testing. The package does this by using FTDI’s D2XX drivers to communicate with zGlue’s Smart Fabric. The installation comes with a command line interface script called sfabric. zGlue Inc is distributing this library in the Python Package Index (PyPI) under zGlue Open Hardware V1 license.
