 {{ :cobo_sys_arch.png?400|System Architecture}}
 A simplified depiction of the GET system is shown in the figure. A time project chamber hosting a 10240-pad MicroMega is connected to a smart protection board then fed to the AGET chips hosted on the Asad board. Every CoBo is then connected to 4 Asad boards using 4 dedicated VHDCI connectors on the front panel. The processed data is passed down to the Mutant as well as sent out using GbE to the storage farm.
+===== Reduced CoBo =====
+The reduced CoBo is implemented on a Xilinx ML507 demonstration board. It can instrument one AsAd card only, via an adapter board designed by NSCL. The latest version of this adapter board (v2.0) connects to the AsAd versions 2.0 and above via a regular VHDCI cable. The firmware corresponding to this latest version can be found {{rcobo:download.pdf|here}}.
