Goals:

• [x] Snatch and install the new PULSE generator
• [x] Put it online and setup the INIT routine and SWEEP routines
• [x] Run ~r13 on pixel 0 and extract S-curve
• [x] Write new Carboard routines to initialize Power, Biases and level shifters
• [x] Look at breakout board wiring and see if making digital cable connectors make sense - if so DO IT
• [x] After S-curve is done - confirm sigma improvement and fire new FW with LVDS
• [x] Install Carboard to HPC0
• [x] Check biases, powers AND level shifter (FW I/Os) coming out of the cardboard
• [x] Install DUT board to Carboard
• [x] Resume DNN test

DNN TEST CHECKLIST:

• [ ] print y-projection of scanchain
• [ ] Setup rtl simulation that can take the y-projection as an input
• [ ] Check Weight and Biases programming with ALL "1" and compare with model
• [x] Simulate DNN with PCB load
• [ ] Check PCB for missing switch?? Or 50 ohm resistor?
