NPAP Evaluation Reference Design

This guide focuses on the most common setup and testing procedures to enable you to run practical evaluations using the NPAP Evaluation Reference Design (ERD).

It is divided into two parts:

1. The chapter Evaluation Reference Design Overview is your primary reference for identifying the correct configuration. Use the table to find the IP address and specifications for your specific board and design.

2. Chapter How to evaluate NPAP using the Evaluation Reference Design provides the hands-on commands for setting up your host PC and performing initial connectivity and performance tests with tools like ping and netperf.

Follow these instructions to quickly establish a connection and begin your evaluation.
