4-08-2010: The board is working
Since mid July we have one board plugged in on Xilinx development kit and powered. Two channels are working as limited by Xilinx development kit clock connections (we’ll change our FMC connections on a V2 to cope with this).

28-05-2010: The board is a beauty!
For bringing the SMC connectors I passed by the assembly workshop and had a chance to have a look at the three assembled PCBs. The boards look really beautiful with the four rows of black Panasonic switches clearly visible.

24-03-2010 PCB layout review held
A very useful review (Review24032010) has been held that introduced several improvements. Overall the layout was already fine and would have given a working board. Certain of the suggested changes will make the layout better, likely improving SNR and EMC features.
