 Look in `xsdk_workspace/real_quad/src/hw_impl_zybo_tests.c` for instructions.
 Ideally, you would run these tests from the XSDK IDE.
 
+### XSDK FYIs
+The XIlinx SDK has a few quirks that are important to watch out for:
+ 1. From the [documentation](https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/sw_manuals/xilinx14_7/SDK_Doc/tasks/sdk_t_tcf_limitations_faq.htm), if you abort program execution while at a breakpoint inside an interrupt handler, when re-running the program, interrupts don’t fire. You have to do a hard reset of the board (cycle power) to have interrupts work again.
+ 2. After doing a `git pull`, refresh the files by right-clicking on the project in the sidebar and clicking "Refresh"
+ 3. The project does not detect changes in header files, so if you modify a `.h` file, you should do a clean before building, otherwise you may experience unexpected behavior.
