 ## Lab fleet: Raspberry Pi 5 and iperf 2 (planned)
 
-We expect a **fleet of Raspberry Pi 5** boards as the primary **lab rig controllers**: remote **`fiwicontrol`** install, discovery over SSH, PCIe / Fi‑Wi harness hosts (docs already assume Pi-class rigs). Those Pi 5s will run **iperf 2** as **synthetic traffic** endpoints—controlled load and measurement during Fi‑Wi and bring-up experiments, not one-off manual runs. **None of this is automated in-repo yet** beyond what you can already drive by hand over **`ssh_node`**; first-class orchestration and reporting are roadmap.
