PMC Pass Thru to preFPIX2i test beam inner board.

This firmware is for connecting the preFPIX2 test beam inner board configured with a preFPIX2i chip to a PMC.  Firmware provides a simple pass through of the signals from the JN1/JN2 connector on the PTA/PMC interface for use with Gabriele's software.  Signaling between the PMC and the preFPIX2 inner board is LVDS.  It is important that the appropriate PMC termination resistors are installed as described the the Cable and Connections section.
