+USRP™ Tools
+============================
+
+This folder contains tools that are useful for working with and/or debugging
+your USRP™ device. Tools in this directory do **not** link against UHD. They are
+either stand-alone programs or software to be used in third-party applications.
+
+For UHD™ software tools, look in `uhd/host/utils`.
+
+
+## List of Tools
+
+__usrp_x3xx_fpga_jtag_programmer.sh__
+
+This tool is to be used with the USRP™ X300 and X310 devices. It allows you to
+program the X3x0 FPGA via JTAG. Note that loading the FPGA image via JTAG does
+**not** store the FPGA in the on-device flash storage. Thus, as soon as you
+cycle power, the image will be lost. To permanently burn an FPGA image, please
+refer to `uhd/host/utils/usrp_x3xx_fpga_burner`.
+
+This tool requires that Xilinx iMPACT has been installed on your system.
