[hpsdr] Penelope FPGA code

[rihob., es7aaz]

Hi Phil,

Thanks for sharing this. As strange as it sounds I'm going to build
a Janus board besides Penelope. So I guess I need a little assistance
to load F/W into Max II device. It seems most attractive to do it
without JTAG programmer through Ozy.


This project really is beyond everything ! Thank you all !


P.S. Not trying to be the last one. Ozy installed :D - http://www.hot.ee/es7aaz
