[Docs/Proposal] Add physical loopback setup figures and complete loopback experiment definitions (ZCU216 & RFSoC4x2) #3

Description

Description

Reviewing the getting_started.md guide highlights a few missing assets and incomplete sections regarding the initial loopback workflow for both supported platforms:

  1. Missing Loopback Figures (../graphics/*):

    • ../graphics/zcu216_loopback.png (ZCU216 loopback connection using daughterboards).
    • ../graphics/rfsoc4x2_loopback.png (RFSoC4x2 loopback connection).

    Proposal: Add clear hardware wiring/cabling photos or connection schematics illustrating how to physically loop the DAC output back into the ADC input.

  2. Loopback Experiment Definitions & Documentation:

    • ZCU216: The DAC (DAC 228 Ch 0) and ADC (ADC 224 Ch 0) channels are defined. We should provide the reference configuration and explicit description for experiments/loopback.yaml.
    • RFSoC4x2: Several placeholders remain unfilled (DAC channel ..., ADC channel ...). The loopback experiment configuration and documentation for the RFSoC4x2 need to be completed once the active DAC/ADC tile mapping is finalized in the 4x2 firmware/overlay.
