Minutes from Alex:

WIB Test stand in UF

• WIB test stand in UF is being restored
• Thaihang Chung (our summer student) is working on this
• Timing master firmware and software installed and working
• Working on WIB software installation now
  • Thanks to Adrian and Ben for detailed instructions!

Firmware management

• Support for multiple chips is immediately available in Vivado
• multiple chip targets can be set up within one project
• Did not know, even though used Vivado since 2014
• Discovered by accident, mucking around with another project
• GIT Repository updated, have a single project now, with ZU6 and ZU9 targets
• Still might want to look at firmware management systems, to handle graphical designs better
• Signed up for HOG tutorial on June 15th

Ongoing development:

• COLDATA internal time stamp reset from timing command = 0 (timestamp)
• Everything is ready for it in current firmware, just need to program a register 
• Will test when UF test stand is operational
