Basic Hardware Bring-up: Enables hands-on operation of all the features in the BIST
as well as evaluation of Analog Mixed Signal (AMS) using the AMS101 evaluation
card.
Advanced Bring-up: Enables hands-on operation with the base TRD, which features
PCIe®, DDR3 memory, AXI stream interconnect, and AXI virtual FIFO controller IP
cores—all supported through a custom evaluation graphical user interface (GUI).
