EMP software

The EMP software is a set of libraries and applications that allow users to control and monitor the EMP firmware once it has been loaded onto an FPGA.

The pages listed below explain how to install/compile the software, how to use empbutler to control and monitor the EMP firmware, and how to test the firmware and software.
