75          <ul>
76            <li>Production target remains <code>xc7a200t-2fbg484i</code> with full board constraints.</li>
77            <li>TE0712/TE0701 and TE0713/TE0701 use dedicated top wrappers and dedicated XDC files.</li>
78            <li>Board-specific pinouts are isolated from core DSP modules to avoid accidental cross-target regression.</li>
79            <li>Bring-up sequence starts from minimal heartbeat top, then steps into full signal chain validation.</li>
