02-02-2012: V2 design ready

Based on the experience with the V1 prototype, nine Issues were found. Corrections have been made to the schematics and PCB layout and these will be reviewed on 7 February. After this CERN’s design office will generate the final production files.
The firmware VHDL code is under thorough review and production test software has to be written. This work should be ready by the end of the summer.
