6. Board Test System

This chapter explains how you can use the Board Test System GUI to test board
components, modify functional parameters, observe performance, and measure
power usage.

Along with the Board Test System, the development kit includes related design
examples. These designs are provided to test the major board features. Each design
provides data for one or more tabs in the application. While using the Board Test
System, you reconfigure the FPGA several times with test designs specific to the
functionality you are testing.

The Board Test System is also useful as a reference for designing systems.
