  BDAQ53 is a readout system and verification framework for hybrid pixel
detector readout chips of the RD53 family. These chips are designed for the
upgrade of the inner tracking detectors of the ATLAS and CMS experiments.
BDAQ53 is used in applications where versatility and rapid customization are
required, such as in laboratory testing environments, test beam campaigns, and
permanent setups for quality control measurements. It consists of custom and
commercial hardware, a Python-based software framework, and FPGA firmware.
BDAQ53 is developed as open source software with both software and firmware
being hosted in a public repository.
