-\section{Distributed RTIO (DRTIO)}
+Power is to be supplied through the barrel connector in the front panel, size 5.5 mm OD, 2.5 mm ID, and is passed on to daughtercards through the EEM connections. Locking barrel connectors are supported.
-DRTIO is a time and data transfer system that allows ARTIQ RTIO channels to be distributed among several satellite devices synchronized and controlled by a central core device.
+
-Multiple core devices (e.g. Kasli 2.0) can be interconnected through DRTIO. All core devices in the DRTIO system are classified as 1 of the 2 roles:
+\section{FPGA}
+
+Kasli 2.0 features an XC7A100T-3FGG484E Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA to facilitate reconfigurable high-speed real-time control of inputs and outputs. Most commonly, this FPGA is flashed with binaries compiled from the ARTIQ (Advanced Real-Time Infrastructure for Quantum physics) control system, which equips the carrier board with specialized gateware for handling other Sinara EEMs and an on-FPGA CPU for running ARTIQ experiment \mbox{kernels}.
+
+ARTIQ is open-source and can be found in the repository \url{https://github.com/m-labs/artiq}. Orders of Sinara hardware are normally accompanied with precompiled binaries. Long-term support for ARTIQ systems can also be purchased.
+
+A micro-USB located on the front panel is equipped for JTAG, I2C, and UART serial output. The serial interface runs at 115200bps 8-N-1.
+
+\subsection{Note on distributed RTIO (DRTIO)}
+
+DRTIO is the time and data transfer system that allows ARTIQ RTIO channels to be distributed among several core device carrier boards, synchronized and controlled by a central core device. The system itself is more fully described in the ARTIQ documentation\footnote{\label{manual-drtio}\url{https://m-labs.hk/artiq/manual/drtio.html}}. With ARTIQ firmware/gateware, supported core devices, including Kasli 2.0, can take one of three roles:
 \begin{enumerate}
-    \item DRTIO Master \\
+    \item \textbf{Master} \\
-    The DRTIO master is unique in a DRTIO system. It controls the DRTIO satellites(s) and local RTIO channels.
+    The DRTIO master is unique in a DRTIO system. It requires a direct network connection to the host machine. It may make downstream connections to satellites. It controls its own local RTIO channels and the downstream DRTIO satellite(s).
-    \item DRTIO Satellite \\
+    \item \textbf{Satellite} \\
-    The rest of the core devices are DRTIO satellites. DRTIO satellites need an upstream connection to one other core devices (master or satellite).
+    Any other core devices in a DRTIO system are DRTIO satellites. They require an upstream connection to one other core device, master or satellite, through which communications will ultimately be chained to the master. They may make further downstream connections to other satellites. They may control RTIO channels through subkernels or simply pass on communications from the master.
-    It may provide downstream conenction to other DRTIO satellties.
+    \item \textbf{Standalone}\\
+    When run in a non-distributed ARTIQ configuration, with a single central core device but no satellites, that core device is instead known as standalone.
 \end{enumerate}
 
+\section{Communication Interfaces}
 
-\section{Network Interface}
+Communication between devices is implemented using 1000Base-T small form-factor pluggable (SFP) interfaces. Four are available on the Kasli 2.0. Appropriate SFP transceivers must be plugged inside the corresponding SFP cages. Each SFP connector possesses an indicator LED.

-\subsection{Upstream Connection}
-A core device (e.g. Kasli 2.0) must acquire an upstream network connection through the \texttt{SFP0} slot.

-    An Ethernet capable SFP transceiver must be inserted to the \texttt{SFP0} slot.
+    An Ethernet-capable SFP transceiver should be inserted into the \texttt{SFP0} slot. Typically, a 10000Base-X RJ45 SFP module is used, with an network-connected Ethernet cable attached to the module.
-    Typically, a RJ45 SFP module is inserted to the slot with an Ethernet cable with network connection attached to the module.
+    \item \textbf{Satellite} \\
-    \item DRTIO Satellite \\
+    The \texttt{SFP0} port should be connected to one of the free SFP slots on an upstream core device, using a cable connection with SFP transceivers.
-    The \texttt{SFP0} port of DRTIO satellite should be connected to an appropriate SFP slot of the upstream core device (DRTIO master or satellite) with cable connection with SFP transceivers.
 \end{itemize}

+\section{User LEDs}
+
+Kasli 2.0 supplies three user LEDs for debugging purposes. Two are located on the front panel. The third is located on the PCB itself, beside the SFP cage. An additional ERR LED on the front panel is used by ARTIQ firmware to indicate a runtime panic.

+Instead of directly emitting RTIO events, sequences of RTIO events can be recorded in advance and stored in the local SDRAM. The event sequence can then be replayed at a specified timestamp. This is of special advantage in cases where RTIO events are too closely placed to be generated as they are executed, as events can be replayed at a higher speed than the on-FPGA CPU alone is capable of.
-The event sequence can be replayed at another specified timestamp at a higher speed compared to the CPU alone.

 \section{Configuring IO Direction \& Termination}
-The termination and IO direction can be configured by switches.
-The per-channel termination and per-bank IO direction switches are found at the middle-left and middle-right of both cards respectively.
 
-Termination switches selects the termination of each channel, between high impedence (OFF) and 50\textOmega~(ON).
+IO direction and termination must be configured by setting physical switches on the board. The termination switches are found on the middle-left and the IO direction switches on the middle-right of both cards. Termination switches select between high impedance (\texttt{OFF}) and 50\textOmega~(\texttt{ON}). Note that termination switches are by-channel but IO direction switches are by-bank.

 \section{General Description}
-The 4410/4412 DDS Urukul card is a 4hp EEM module part of the ARTIQ Sinara family.
+The 4410/4412 DDS Urukul card is a 4hp EEM module, part of the ARTIQ/Sinara family. It adds frequency generation capabilities to carrier cards such as 1124 Kasli and 1125 Kasli-SoC.
-It adds frequency generation capabilities to carrier cards such as 1124 Kasli and 1125 Kasli-SoC.
 
-It provides 4 channels of DDS at 1GS/s.
+It provides 4 channels of DDS (direct digital synthesis) at 1GS/s. Output frequencies from \textless 1 to \textgreater 400 MHz are supported. The nominal maximum output power of each channel is 10dBm. Each channel can be attenuated from 0 to -31.5 dB by a digital attenuator. RF switches (1ns temporal resolution) on each channel provide 70 dB isolation.
-Output frequency from \textless 1 to \textgreater 400 MHz are supported.
-The nominal maximum output power of each channel is 10dBm.
-Each channel can be attenuated from 0 to -31.5 dB by a digital attenuator.

-4410 DDS Urukul comes with AD9910 chips, while 4412 DDS Urukul comes with AD9912 chips instead.
 
+4410 DDS Urukul features AD9910 chips, while 4412 DDS Urukul features AD9912 chips. AD9912 is capable of higher frequency precision (~8 \textmu Hz) than the AD9910 (~0.25 Hz). The ARTIQ SU-Servo configuration is only available for AD9910.
