We're trying to make a final decision on the last-minute changes to OGD1.

We can probably route a handful of additional signals from the Spartan
so that we can put BOTH a cheap TV/video-in chip AND a gumstix
connector on OGD1.  We don't have enough signals to fully populate all
pins on the gumstix connector, so our idea is to populate exactly what
is needed to support the netCF expansion board
(http://gumstix.com/store/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=183).
(This is one of the few expansion boards that will fit, given our
space and orientation constraints.)  Of course, our signals are just
FPGA pins, so we can connect anything we want to the connector, but
this way, we can have ethernet straight away.  We will support the
appropriate subset of pins on either the 92 or 120-pin gumstix
connector.

Now, here's our big problem:  We still can't figure out where to put
the mounting holes on OGD1 so that the daughterboard can be properly
secured in place.  We've found diagrams of the gumstix motherboard,
but there's no indication of which holes are daughterboard mounts.
Maybe we need a drill drawing, but we can't find one.  One of the
biggest problems is that there is not enough documention, and
schematics are in Eagle format, which we cannot read.
