Some code available to interface to gigabit board

• BNL order in , procurement put a PO and transfer should go through next week
• need ask to Vinnie information about the test setup
• cannot operate evaluation board : might have overheated or lost firmware - will try to reflash firmware - need to check if it needs a fan for longer operation - Ed checking the firmware compatible with second board

• MAROC : Zhiwen able to look at MAROC scalers. Bryan set up software. Issue with TI most likely wrong settings
