-Introduction to AIDA FMC Mini-TLU	{#mainpage}
-=================================
-
-The TLU provides different parts of a Particle Physics Beam-Test
-system with the information they need to synchronize data taken with
-different detectors. The detectors are also refered to as Devices
-Under Test (DUT).
-
-Functions of TLU
----------------
-
- Trigger.
-
-  The TLU can combine signals from detectors in the beam-line ( often
-  scintillation detectors ) to produce a trigger that is sent to the
-  different DUT.  Each DUT can indicate to the TLU that it is busy and
-  unable to take any further data.
-
- Particle Timestamping
-
-  The arrival time of every pulse from the beam-detectors is recorded.
-
- Clock and Synchronization Signals.
-
-  The TLU produces clock and synchronization signals that allow the
-  internal counters of different DUT to be sychronized.
-
-N.B. Not all the functions of the TLU may be used in a given beam-test
-system. For example, it is common to only use the Trigger/Busy
-function of the TLU.
-
-Firmare Structure
-----------------
-
-The firmware is almost exclusively written in VHDL. The top level
-entitity is [top_extphy](top_extphy_struct)
-
-The HDL-Designer package by Mentor graphics has been used to develop
-some of the code, mainly the top-level structure. However, is is not
-necessary to use HDL-Designer to build the firmware. In fact the VHDL
-files produced by HDL-Designer can also be edited "by hand" without
-using the tool.
-
-A block diagram, generated by HDL-Designer, is [here](http://www.ohwr.org/attachments/2710/hdl_designer_test_print_2.pdf)
-
-Building Firmware
-----------------
-
-Instructions on building the firmware are found
-[here](http://www.ohwr.org/projects/fmc-mtlu/wiki/FirmwareBuild).
