4.2.1 PD Firmware

To get the PoDL circuit working, program U6 with a firmware implementing the PD functionality. This can be with or without support for SCCP. The hardware supports both options, also firmware for both is available and tested. Connect J5 to an MSP430 debugger and load the firmware. This step only needs to be done once.
