+// Triggered by host opcode 0x30. Exercises each subsystem independently:
+//   Test 0: BRAM write/read pattern (walking 1s)
+//   Test 1: CIC impulse response check (known input → expected output)
+//   Test 2: FFT known-input test (DC input → bin 0 peak)
+//   Test 3: Arithmetic / saturating-add check
+//   Test 4: ADC raw data capture (dump N samples to host)
+//
+// Results reported back via a status register readable by host (opcode 0x31).
+// Each test produces a PASS/FAIL bit in result_flags[4:0].
+//
+// Integration: radar_system_top.v wires host_self_test_trigger (from opcode 0x30)
+// to this module's `trigger` input, and reads `result_flags` / `result_valid`
+// via opcode 0x31.
+//
+// Resource cost: ~200 LUTs, 1 BRAM (test pattern), 0 DSP.

+AERIS-10 Radar Dashboard — Board Bring-Up Edition
+===================================================
+Real-time visualization and control for the AERIS-10 phased-array radar
+via FT601 USB 3.0 interface.
+
+Features:
+  - FT601 USB reader with packet parsing (matches usb_data_interface.v)
+  - Real-time range-Doppler magnitude heatmap (64x32)
+  - CFAR detection overlay (flagged cells highlighted)
+  - Range profile waterfall plot (range vs. time)
+  - Host command sender (opcodes 0x01-0x27, 0x30, 0xFF)
+  - Configuration panel for all radar parameters
+  - HDF5 data recording for offline analysis
+  - Mock mode for development/testing without hardware
+
+Usage:
+  python radar_dashboard.py              # Launch with mock data
+  python radar_dashboard.py --live       # Launch with FT601 hardware
+  python radar_dashboard.py --record     # Launch with HDF5 recording
