+Several FPGAs and CPLDs can retrieve their configuration (bitstream) from a
+SPI flash connected to them. To access this flash from the host, the device
+is first programmed with a special proxy bitstream that
+exposes the SPI flash on the device's JTAG interface. The flash can then be
+accessed through JTAG.
+
+Since signaling between JTAG and SPI is compatible, all that is required for
+a proxy bitstream is to connect TDI-MOSI, TDO-MISO, TCK-CLK and activate
+the flash chip select when the JTAG state machine is in SHIFT-DR. Such
+a bitstream for several Xilinx FPGAs can be found in
+@file{contrib/loaders/flash/fpga/xilinx_bscan_spi.py}. It requires migen
+(@url{http://github.com/m-labs/migen}) and a Xilinx toolchain to build.
+
+This flash bank driver requires a target on a JTAG tap and will access that
+tap directly. Since no support from the target is needed, the target can be a
+"testee" dummy. Since the target does not expose the flash memory
+mapping, target commands that would otherwise be expected to access the flash
+will not work. These include all @command{*_image} and
+@command{$target_name m*} commands as well as @command{program}. Equivalent
+functionality is available through the @command{flash write_bank},
+@command{flash read_bank}, and @command{flash verify_bank} commands.
+
+@itemize
+@item @var{ir} ... is loaded into the JTAG IR to map the flash as the JTAG DR.
+For the bitstreams generated from @file{xilinx_bscan_spi.py} this is the
+@var{USER1} instruction.
+@item @var{dr_length} ... is the length of the DR register. This will be 1 for
+@file{xilinx_bscan_spi.py} bitstreams and most other cases.
