USB-Blaster passive serial mode
-------------------------------
USB-Blaster I cables can load a raw RBF directly through the passive
serial pins:
.. code-block:: bash
openFPGALoader -c usb-blaster --passive-serial project_name.rbf
The pin mapping is TCK to DCLK, TDO to CONF_DONE, TMS to nCONFIG, and TDI to
DATA0. RBF bytes are transmitted LSB first.
