Hi,

There is a stupid PCB problem with the video in pixel port: we connected 
P[7:0], but the video decoder outputs on P[15:8] when in 8-bit mode. Nobody 
spotted this one :(

Besides that, the decoder circuit appears to be working: the crystal 
oscillator is stable and clean (checked on scope), the decoder chip responds 
to I2C, and when fed a video signal it gets detected and reported in the I2C 
registers and the pixel port clock and sync signals toggle.

Since P[7:0] are high-impedance when the chip is in 8-bit mode, I will buy 
some thin wire tomorrow and use it to connect P15->P7 ... P8->P0 so I can 
continue with the video input bring-up. Soldering wire to 16 pins on a QFP 
sure sounds like a lot of fun, but with some patience I should be able to make 
it...

I am still listing PCB errors and possible improvements here:
