Booting SMT338-VP
The booting of SMT338-VP requests two steps:
- Powering up board.
- Configuring FPGA with bitstream received from comport 3.
This is managed by MSP430.
The following diagram shows what the default micro-controller boot code does:

IDLE
TIM Reset or nConfig

The SMT338-VP is reset by the TIM global reset.
There is also a TIM CONFIG signal provided on the TIM connector J4 pin 74. This
provides a means of reprogramming the FPGA without having to drive the TIM Global
Reset signal. CONFIG falling will reset the SMT338-VP in the same way that a TIM
global Reset pulse will. Other modules in the system that are sensitive to the TIM
global Reset signal will not be affected by CONFIG.
