I haven't done anything for a rev02 yet, so this is an excellent time to come 
up with new requirements =). Did you get the two LEDs on rev01 working from 
the FPGA side?

Leif have been talking about maybe adding an EEPROM chip that the FPGA can use 
as key store - what do you think about that?

Leif also wanted a first simple tamper proofing input pin.

Sorry, I don't understand this part. Do you mean a 100-mil header with various 
test points like the ARRHG board, or just a 100-mil header for the avalanche 
output?
