======FLIC-FTK Level-2 Interface Card======
The Fast TracKer (FTK) to Level-2 Interface Card
(FLIC) of the ATLAS FTK trigger upgrade is the final component
in the FTK chain of custom electronics to connect the system
to the High-Level trigger (HLT). The FTK performs full event
tracking using the ATLAS Silicon detectors for every Level-1(L1)
accepted event at 100 kHz. The FLIC is a custom Advanced
Telecommunications Architecture (ATCA) card that interfaces
the upstream FTK system with the ATLAS trigger and data
acquisition (TDAQ) system, and allows for event processing on
commercial PC blades, making use of the 10 Gb Ethernet full
mesh ATCA backplane.

=====FLIC hardware design=====
  * 18-layer circuit board, standard FR-4
  * 2 Virtex-6 FPGAs as the data processor (1&2)
  - Each has 128 Mbit of fast SRAM (32 Mbit per SFP input) to implement data-driven lookup tables
  - Track geometry data from the lookup table are inserted into the data stream “on the fly”
{{:tdq:datapipeline.png?800|}}
  * 2 Virtex-6 FPGAs as the ATCA interface (3&4)
  - Each implements two 10Gb Ethernet interfaces to ATCA backplane (total 40Gb output bandwidth)
  - Each has 8 SERDES links of input from I/O processor FPGAs, matched to total ATCA output bandwidth
  - Distribute data, from the FLIC to the multiple processor blades
  * Full, matched-bandwidth internal mesh of SERDES links between all FPGAs 
{{:tdq:internalmash.png?400|}}
  * General-purpose DDR3 memory per FPGA forbuffering or event record building

=====Spy buffer=====
The FLIC spy buffer copy the tagged events from U1&U2 to U3&U4 then assembly them into ethernet package and send to ATCA processor blade via 40Gbps ATCA back plane.

===Power control===
To turn on and off boards, follow the procedure in this link: 
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AFG2NiOa7EOsIhMX3Na6mmfUw2Ab1HVlt_Txr5kHMYE/edit?usp=sharing
===IPMC===
Talk to the IPMC.

eg. get the device ID of the board in slot 3:
<code>
clia sendcmd (IPMB address) (netfn) (command)
clia sendcmd 86             6       1 
</code>
get Device SDR Info:
<code>
clia sendcmd (IPMB address) (netfn) (command)
clia sendcmd 86             4       20 
</code>
