+    This class provides basic support for the Arrow SoCKit.
+    Since the SoCKit has its USB2UART attached to the HPS
+    system, it is not available to the FPGA and thus the only
+    way to communicate is via JTAG serial which is configured
+    by default.
+    To access it, you can use the nios2_terminal application
+    included in the Intel/Altera quartus distribution.
