[hpsdr] Propeller

Hi Cecil,
yes indeed, it is an interesting chip. The VGA capabilities are only limited by the memory 
in use. There are different VGA drivers available. Please have a look into the Propeller 
forum.
I have designed the board according to the following schematic but have added two 
additional EEPROMs for a larger memory block

For the board design I have used a simple software which can be found as demo at

http://www.abacom-online.de/uk/html/dateien/demos/sprint-layout40(demo).exe

It only produces single and double sided boards but is very simple to use.
