I got mine directly from Bas Laarhoven <b...@laarhoven.org>, you might
contact him directly and see if he has any on-hand, or if he knows of a
good place to buy one.

The manual came with the board.  I'm not sure I'm allowed to share it,
since it's not online anywhere I can find.  I have, however, pieced
together most of the I/O assignments from a combination of the manual,
tracing signals on the board, and examining the software in the git
repository.  Give me a bit and I'll commit my changes to Michael's repo.

...OK, changes are in the arm335x-hal-pru-module branch, as comments at
the bottom of the stepgen.p file:

http://git.mah.priv.at/gitweb?p=emc2-dev.git;a=blob;f=configs/pru-examples/stepgen.p;h=d6292075abca1cd687dbb4b47cd1ad748b1521d6;hb=fde5606226ba14d0b033ba6b2310d2c58a296284#l506

This is still a work in-progress, but most of the main pins are there.
