The USB is just for fooling around out side of the clock, getting
familiar with what it can do.
The FPGA can handle the serial port interface just fine.
BTW the original has cheap slow microcontroller (don't even remember
what it is now) I'm replacing it with a modern Altera MAX-10 FPGA for
the upgrade.

No, not really. I would get one of these... 1/3 the price, comes with
antenna. A timing receiver is way overkill for a clock. USB is a pain for
microcontrollers to work with. Get it working with with the 8M, upgrade
later to the M8T if you feel the need.

Does this seem like a reasonable board to get?
