This firmware is for connecting the preFPIX2 test beam inner board
configured with a preFPIX2tb 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.
