Probably next time better to mention that sometimes we flash beta versions

Well initially it refered to the extras directory in this repo 🤔

1. Change `base` in JSON to the respective `master` or `satellite`, add `"enable_sata_drtio": true` if needed to the master,
remove `core_addr` in satellites
2. Build and flash firmware for each crate with JSONs (see instructions above)
3. Create composed `device_db.py`: `artiq_ddb_template -o device_db.py -s 1 <satellite1>.json -s 2 <satellite2>.json <master>.json`
3. Create composed `device_db.py`: e.g. `artiq_ddb_template -o device_db.py -s 1 <satellite1>.json -s 2 <satellite2>.json <master>.json`
4. Connect satellite crates to the master respective to their numbers via the fiber (see example picture)

5. Ethernet is needed only for master
