the presence and validation of these records the carrier will decide to enable payload
power domains for the FMC module.
As it may be annoying to use FMC modules that may be in beta state not containing any
FRU records the carrier brings the functionality to generate and program records
according user demands. To use these feature simply connect a micro USB cable to the
USB input at the front panel and open a virtual terminal emulation program such as
“TeraTerm Pro”. You will have to choose the MMC COM port with the higher number as it
will release two COM ports (ZYNQ and MMC serial console port). The following picture
shows an example containing three serial ports including the MCH serial console and the
NAMC-ZYNQ-FMC COM ports (numbers may be different).

When inserting the AMC with connected USB cable into an operational MicroTCA chassis
you should see the following output ensuring being connected to the correct COM port.
Ensure you are highlighting the TeraTerm application window in order to prepare for
pressing any key to enter the FMC FRU image generation wizard.

record file was found in the EEPROM or a value that was parsed of the existing FRU
image. Once you are finished with the wizard it will ask you to program the FMC
EEPROM. As a reference the output may look like in Figure 9: FRU wizardFigure 9.
