+FPGA images for LoRa Gateway SX1301AP2-PCB_E336
+===============================================
+
+1. Content
+----------
+
+This directory contains the FPGA images to be programmed in the Semtech's
+Reference Design board (SX1301AP2-PCB_E336) flash memory.
+
+The different images contain the following features:
+
+* SX1301_FPGA_200K_NOTCH_LBT_SPECTRAL_SCAN_915_v33.hex:
+    - 200KHz Notch filter for TX (not programmable)
+    - Listen-Before-Talk for 915+MHz frequency range (Japan)
+    - Background Spectral Scan (limited)
+
+* SX1301_FPGA_200K_NOTCH_LBT_SPECTRAL_SCAN_863_v33.hex:
+    - 200KHz Notch filter for TX (not programmable)
+    - Listen-Before-Talk for 863+MHz frequency range
+    - Background Spectral Scan (limited)
+Note: This image is the same as the 915+MHz version. It is just meant for
+testing "Japan-like" LBT feature on a EU868 board. It does not provide certified
+LBT for European band.
+
+* SX1301_FPGA_NOTCH_PROG_SPECTRAL_SCAN_v31.hex:
+    - Programmable notch filter for TX
+    - Background Spectral Scan (full)
+
+2. Usage
+--------
+
+The following parameters have to be set when using the Lattice Diamond
+Programmer software:
+
+Device Family -> iCE40
+Device -> iCE40LP1K
+Operation -> SPI Flash Programming
+          -> Programming file: select one of the provided bin image
+          -> SPI Vendor: Micron
+          -> SPI Device: SPI-M25P10-A
