UltraScale Boards and Kits - VADJ behaviour and bring-up

How is the VADJ rail treated on UltraScale Boards and Kits?

For UltraScale Boards and Kits, the process for VADJ read as defined in VITA57.1 FMC specification is followed.

This involves the querying of the Mezzanine Card's EPROM to ensure that the VADJ voltage is brought up at the correct voltage.

The Maxim Integrated power controllers on the UltraScale Boards and Kits power on with VADJ off by design.

VADJ gets enabled by the MSP430 System Controller after power-on under the following conditions (1 or 2 or 3):

If one FMC card is plugged into either of the 2 FMC connectors on the UltraScale board
AND
Proper IPMI format defined in VITA57.1 FMC specification is programmed into the Mezzanine Card's EPROM
AND
The Mezzanine Card's IPMI data defines a compatible VADJ voltage (range) with the UltraScale board's VADJ capability

If two FMC cards are plugged into the two UltraScale board FMC connectors
AND
Proper IPMI format defined in the VITA57.1 FMC specification is programmed into both of the Mezzanine Card's EPROMs
AND
Both Mezzanine Card's IPMI data defines a VADJ voltage (range) compatible with the UltraScale board's VADJ capability
