/*! \brief Provide access to an EISCAT radio, including beamformer.
 *
 * Note: This will control both daughterboards. Since we have a single RFNoC
 * block, we only have one of these per motherboard.
 *
 * EISCAT radios have a whole bunch of features which don't have APIs provided
 * by radio_ctrl. This means the most interesting features are controlled by
 * set_arg() and get_arg(). Notable exception is set_rx_antenna(), which is
 * heavily abused for all sorts of things.
 *
 * List of relevant args:
 * - sysref (bool): Write to this to trigger a SYSREF pulse to *both*
 *                  daughterboards. Will honor command time. Will always return
 *                  true when read.
 * - gain (double): Set the gain for antenna X, where X is the set_arg() `port`
 *                  value. The gain is normalized in [0,1]. Can be read to get
 *                  the current value. Example: `set_arg("gain", 0.5, 5)` will
 *                  set the digital gain for antenna 5 to mid-point.
 * - fir_ctrl_time (time_spec_t): This time will be used for following
 *                                fir_select writes. Will return the last value
 *                                that was written.
 * - fir_select (int): Will queue a filter for manipulating a specific
 *                     contribution. The value is the filter index in the BRAM.
 *                     The port parameter specifies which filter; filters are
 *                     indexed 0...159 using the equation beam_index * 16 +
 *                     antenna_idx. Example: `set_arg("fir_select", 357, 16)`
 *                     will apply filter number 357 to the zeroth antenna for
 *                     beam number 1 (i.e. the second beam). Returns the last
 *                     value that was written. May be incorrect before written
 *                     for the first time.
 * - fir_taps (vector<int32_t>): Updates FIR tap values in the BRAM. Port is
 *                               the filter index. Will always return an impulse
 *                               response, not the actual filter value.
 * - assert_adcs_deframers (bool): Writing this does nothing. Reading it back
 *                                 will run the initialization of ADCs and
 *                                 deframers. Return value is success.
 * - assert_deframer_status (bool): Writing this does nothing. Reading it will
 *                                  run the final step of the JESD deframer
 *                                  initialization routine. Returns success.
 * - choose_beams (int): Configures beam selection (upper, lower, are neighbour
 *                       contributions included). See set_beam_selection() for
 *                       details.
 * - enable_firs (int): Can be used to disable fir FIR matrix. This routes the
 *                      JESD output directly to the noc_shell.
 * - enable_counter (int): If the feature is available in the given FPGA image,
 *                         setting this to true will disable the JESD core
 *                         output and will input a counter signal (ramp)
 *                         instead.
 * - configure_beams (int): Danger, danger: Directly writes the
 *                          SR_BEAMS_TO_NEIGHBOR register. Writing this can put
 *                          some of the other properties out of sync, because
 *                          writing to those will also write to this, but not
 *                          vice versa.
 *
 *
 * ## Time-aligned synchronization sequence:
 *
 * 0. Make sure all devices are getting the same ref clock and PPS!
 * 1. Call set_command_time() with the same time on all blocks (make it far
 *    enough in the future)
 * 2. Call set_arg<bool>("sysref") on all blocks. This should SYSREF all dboards
 *    synchronously.
 * 3. On all blocks, call get_arg<bool>("assert_adcs_deframers") and verify it
 *    returns true.
 * 4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 with, obviously, another time that's in the future.
 * 5. On all blocks, call get_arg<bool>("assert_deframer_status") and make sure
 *    it returned true.
