The ZCU216 board includes an on-board MSP430 (U38) with integrated Power Advantage demo and System Controller firmware. A Host PC resident system controller board user interface is provided on the ZCU216 documentation web page. The board user interface enables you to query and control select programmable features such as clocks, FMC functionality, and power system parameters. The ZCU216 web page also includes the ZCU216 System Controller GUI Tutorial (XTP_TBD) and ZCU216 Software Install and Board Setup Tutorial (XTP_TBD).
The following briefly summarizes these instructions:
